b. 100

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

Dashes in FE (→EE)

Dashes in GE

Dashes suggested by the editors
..

Leading the dashes marking the range of smorz. only to the 2nd beat of the bar must be considered an inaccuracy – the indication is almost certainly to be valid until rallent. – just like in GE – or until the end of the bar, which we suggest in the main text.

b. 101-103

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

..

In FEH, in 4 places sharps reminding the correct pitch of the grace notes are to be seen. The marks, written by a foreign hand, are present before e3 on the 4th beat of bar 101, d3 on the 4th beat of bar 102 and a2 on the 3rd and 4th beats of bar 103.

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The 2nd finger written in FEH for b1 in bar 101 and e1 in bar 103 seems to be obvious. In bar 101, it was probably meant to be a warning of the use of the 3rd finger, symmetrically with the figure in the R.H., in which the 2nd grace note is performed with the 3rd finger.

No sign in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

 in GE3

[] suggested by the editors
..

Like in analogous bars 50-52, the pedal release moment from bar 99 we suggest (compliant with the indication introduced in GE3) allows for maintaining the dying sound of the broadly broken G major chord until the end of the phrase. In this case, one can also, according to us, imagine an even longer pedal hold, e.g. to the end of the 3rd beat of bar 101 or even to the end of bar 103.

b. 101

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

No mark in FE (→GE,EE1)

Staccato dot in EE2 (→EE3)
..

The staccato marked in EE2, although certainly added by the editor, in effect, describes well the actual way of performance.
