b. 1-5

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

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by the editors
..

The slur is present in the orchestral part sources, MFrorch and FEorch. Therefore, it may have been omitted by accident. Moreover, it cannot be excluded that legatiss. in FE (→GE,EE) was aimed at mitigating the absence of that slur – there is no place to add a slur in FE.

b. 1

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

..

On the 4th crotchet in the bar, there are equal quavers in MFrorch. It may be the original version, changed by Chopin in FE, or a mistake.

b. 3

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

..

The d1 and c1 notes on the 2nd beat of the bar are written as quavers in the violas' part. It is the first of a few rhythmic discrepancies of this kind between the orchestral part and the corresponding Chopinesque piano reduction constituting a part of FE – cf. bars 12 and 53. It does not seem that all of them could be attributed to mistakes; there are also no proofs suggesting that Chopin could have been striving for a unified rhythm in those places. Therefore, it suggests that the orchestral parts and the piano reduction were considered independently, to a certain extent, and in a quite surprising aspect.

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

f1 tied in FE (→EE)

f1 repeated in GE
..

In FE, the f1 tie is printed slightly inaccurately, so that in GE1 (→GE2) it was misinterpreted as a slur for the bottom voice in the R.H. (in GE3, the mark was omitted).
