a2 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

g2 in FES & GE3
..

Except for a2 at the end of the 2nd triplet, the passages in bars 111-113 are built exclusively from the chordal sounds. It suggests a possible mistake of FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), confirmed by a correction in FES. A change of a2 to g2 was introduced also in GE3.

b. 112

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

c2 repeated in FE (→GE)

c2 tied in EE
..

Sustaining the c2 note was probably meant to rhythmically assimilate the 2nd half of this bar to its twin passage in the 1st half of bar 111. The fingering added in FES proves that the note at the beginning of the passage is to be repeated, whereas the version of EE is an arbitrary intervention of the reviser.

The fingering of FES and much more detailed indications in FEH overlap and complement themselves, so that they most probably indicate the same fingering. In the main text, we give the more sparing indications of FES. In the fingering of FEH, it is the difference with respect to the analogous passage in bar 111 that draws our attention – a different fingering of the 2nd semiquaver in the passage is adjusted to a different articulation of the 1st note, staccato in bar 111, legato in bar 112.

The quite illegible entry in FEH is probably a fingering digit. The bottom horizontal dash could have been added separately; it would be then a tenuto mark, sometimes used by Chopin – cf. bar 47.
