2 lower slurs in FE (→EE)

No lower slurs in GE

..

The absence of the bottom slurs in GE most probably means that they were added by Chopin in the last proofreading of FE (→EE).

In GE1 (→GE2), there is no  before the second quaver. It must be a mistake – between two bars based on the same four-note diminished chord containing g, a possible g would require a cautionary , not to mention the tied in violin II. It was most probably [A] that was the source of the mistake, since the  in FE was added only just in print. The mark was added in GE3.

b. 291-294

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

..

The traces of corrections visible in FE prove the Chopinesque proofreading of slurring. The removed slurs were shorter and, as it seems, incomplete – they encompassed, consecutively, 2 beats of bar 291, entire bar 292 and 2 beats of bar 293. Over the last beat of bar 293, there was the beginning of the slur continued in bar 294 (on a new line). It is difficult to evaluate whether these were corrections of mistakes and inaccuracies of the engraver or changes to the authentic, original slurring (perhaps both). There is a similar situation in bars 307-308.

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

..

The traces of proofreading in print, visible in FE, allow us to state that the penultimate semiquaver was initially a b1. It was most probably the original version, since it seems to be highly unlikely that the note could have been printed by mistake.
