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

..

In FE, there are no accidentals on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar, which is a patent inaccuracy. In the remaining editions, a part of the necessary sharps was added; however, none of the editions employed a consistent rule of validity of accidentals for notes appearing in various octaves. In GE1 (→GE2), sharps were added before the 5th, 9th, 10th and 12th semiquavers, which was further developed in GE3 – the accidentals before the 5th and 9th semiquavers were removed and added before the 6th and 8th ones. In EE, 5 sharps were added, omitting only the one before the 6th semiquaver.

b. 434-435

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

..

In FE, there is no  raising d2 to d2 in bar 434 and d1 to d​​​​​​​1 in bar 435. The first of the accidentals is not formally necessary due to the erroneous notation of the sixth at the beginning of the bar, hence it was added only just in GE3 and EE2 (→EE3) along with correction of that mistake. The accidental in bar 435 was added straight away in GE and EE.
