b. 69

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

 in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The  mark, having the nature of a long accent, could have been added by Chopin in the last proofreading of FE (→EE), which is suggested by its absence in GE.

b. 74

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

Staccato dot in FE

No mark in GE

Wedge in EE
..

Nothing indicates the authenticity of the versions of GE or EE – the first is most probably a result of an oversight, the second – a revision.

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

Staccato dot in FE (→EE) & GE3

No mark in GE1 (→GE2)
..

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

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

 in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE
..

The missing  hairpin is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE. There is also a possibility that Chopin added the marking in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→EE).

b. 91

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

No marks in FE (→EE)

Wedges in GE
..

According to us, the missing wedges over the topmost notes on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar is an inaccuracy – cf. the wedges in analogous bar 42 as well as the precise notation in bar 89. Due to this reason, we introduce the markings added in GE to the main text, although the likelihood of them having been added by Chopin is marginal.
