b. 74-75

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

..

In FES, there are added sharps before e2 in the 2nd half of bar 74 and E in the 2nd half of bar 75. The marks are of a cautionary nature and were most probably added by the pupil.

The staccato dot, overlooked in GE1 (→GE2), probably by inadvertence, was added in GE3.

No slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur in bar 76 in EE & GE3

Slurs suggested by the editors
..

The missing slurs in FE seem to be an inadvertence (of Chopin or of the engraver), hence in the main text we suggest adding slurs after analogous or similar bars, e.g. bars 74-75. In bar 76, a slur was added already in EE and GE3. A similar situation in bar 78.

No  sign in FE (→GE,EE)

Probable interpretation

Possible interpretation

Our variant suggestion
..

The pedalling of FE seems to be incomplete – there is no musical justification for omitting the  marking in bar 76; this bar ends the line, which promotes oversights. However, it cannot be ruled out that it is the  marking in bar 77 that was written or left by mistake. Uncertain as to what Chopin's intention was, in the main text we leave the consideration of a pedal change in this place to the discretion of the performer.
