b. 42

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

..

In GE, a  was added before the topmost note of the 5th quaver, g2. It is probably a cautionary mark that should have been placed in the previous bar, where it would be justified.

Slurs in Atut, literal reading

Slurs in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Slurs in GE3

..

The interpretation of the slurs of Atut by the engraver of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) may be considered justified, since the notation of the manuscript is most probably inaccurate. In the main text, we give a different interpretation of Atut, based on the assumption that the similarly looking beginnings of the slurs in bars 45 and 47 convey the same message – slurs from the beginning of the semiquaver tremolando (however, cf. the note in bar 45). This solution was adopted in GE3.

b. 46

..

In the main text, we give the staccato dots after Atut. In FE (→EE), the marks were misplaced (they were placed under the 2nd and 3rd octaves). In GE, the whole was deemed to be a mistake and both dots were removed.

3-note slur in Atut (→FEGE1GE2)

4-note slur in EE & GE3

..

The shorter slur in Atut (→FEGE1GE2) is the original marking. Initially, both slurs in the previous figure also encompassed the groups of three quavers only; however, they were then prolonged by Chopin. The slur in the L.H. in the discussed bars, written last, already encompasses the entire four-note motif. The fact of leaving the slur in the R.H. without extension must be the composer's inadvertence.

R.H. slur in Atut

No slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Slurs in both hands in GE3

..

Like in the case of portato dots, the majority of the editions overlooked an authentic slur, most probably due to a mistake of the engraver of FE. In GE3, a slur was added in bar 57 after an analogous slur in bar 55 as well as a parallel slur in the L.H. part.
