b. 288

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

 on 3rd beat in FE

 on 2nd beat in GE

2  in EE
..

A comparison with analogous bars 287 and 303-304 points to an inaccurate placement of the  mark in FE (→EE). A corresponding correction was introduced already in GE. In turn, in EE, another  mark was added at the beginning of the bar, which is both an arbitrary and incomprehensible revision if we take into account the compliance with the harmonic course, confirmed in the analogous bars.

b. 288

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur in GE3
..

In the main text, we suggest a slur modelled after analogous bar 304. The change was introduced already in GE3.

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent added by the editors

In the main text, we add a long accent after bar 304 as well as 287 and 303.

b. 289

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

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

No slur in GE3
..

The oversight of the slur in GE3 is most probably an accident. It is difficult to accept an intentional deletion of a whole-bar slur (after the next bar, in which the slur was overlooked in GE1) if in analogous bars 305-306 such whole-bar slurs were introduced contrary to the notation of GE1.

b. 289-290

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE, interpretation
..

In the initial fragment, Fontana's fingering is unclear. We assume that it is a variant fingering for the 3rd, 4th and 5th semiquavers in bar 289. It is highly unlikely that these indications could be coming from Chopin.
