b. 96

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

A in chords in Atut (→FE→EE)

A with  suggested by the editors

B in chords in GE

The compliant version of Atut (→FE→EE) differs not only from GE, but also from the orchestral part of FEorch (→GEorch), in which the entire bass group – cellos and double-basses, bassoons and trombone – feature a B-b throughout the first two beats of the bar. The discrepancy could have been intentional or emerged as a side effect of uncoordinated corrections of the orchestral part and its reduction, for which Chopin is to blame. In the case of the latter, it could be the version of GE that corresponded to the composer's intention. Even if this were the case, it still would not prove a Chopinesque proofreading of GE1, since the change could have been introduced by the reviser on the basis of comparison of GEpiano with GEorch (the composer's participation in the proofreading of GE1 is highly unlikely – see the characterization of that edition).

..

In Atut (→FE), there is no  before e3, which is necessary, considering the notation with octave sign used in these sources. The mark was added both in EE and GE; in the latter, it was added despite the fact that the use of an octave sign was abandoned.

Atut features a  (cautionary?) before B. In FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), another one was added, before B1. In GE3, both marks, unnecessary in this context, were removed.

..

At the beginning of the bar, there is no  raising g1 to g1 in Atut. While writing the fourth consecutive g1, Chopin did not notice that the mark should be repeated in the new bar. The sharp was added already in FE (→GE,EE).
