Issues : Inaccuracies in FE
b. 295
|
composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
We consider the slur of FE (→EE) to be inaccurate (shortened), most probably due to the notation of the topmost semiquavers on the upper stave, which interfered with a longer slur. In the main text, we suggest a longer slur, modelled after the authentic slur in bars 296 and 312. The slur in GE, starting later, which could be a revision or a mere inaccuracy, may, however, correspond to the notation of [A], since in similar contexts, it is sometimes very difficult to interpret slurs in Chopin's autographs. Therefore, one can consider the slur of GE3, although formally non-authentic, to be an acceptable variant. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

According to us, the division of the slur reproduced in the sources is inaccurate, which is facilitated by such configuration. A possible interruption of legato would require shortening f3, written as a quaver, whereas the accented beginning of the slur (b2) would interfere with the long accent on the next note, g2. Therefore, in the main text we suggest modifying the slurs, eliminating the above defects, which is confirmed by the slur in analogous bar 288. The slur of GE3 must be arbitrary, although it is possible to justify it as having been modelled after the authentic slur in the previous bar. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

In each of these bars, FE features a before the 1st semiquaver; however, in the further part of the passage, respective notes in other octaves are devoid of marks. These patent inaccuracies, most probably repeated after [A], were corrected in the remaining editions. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

In FE, both the raising a2 to a2 in bar 316 and the raising c3 to c3 in bar 317 are missing. These patent inaccuracies, most probably repeated after [A], were corrected both in GE and EE. The latter was added also in FED. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Accidentals in different octaves , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |

According to us, placing the accent under the a2 semiquaver is inexplicable from the musical point of view and is most probably a mistake of the engraver of FE, who put the mark a semiquaver too early. In the main text, we move the accent over the crotchet in the L.H., which, judging from the next two similar bars, should be accented. Such an interpretation of this mark was adopted also in GE3. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions |
