b. 3

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

f1 tied in FE (→EE)

f1 repeated in GE

..

In FE, the ftie 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).

Grace note b1 in FE (→EE

Grace note d2 in GE

The version of GE is most probably a result of a Terzverschreibung error, perhaps repeated after FE, in which it was then corrected – it could be proved by various print faults in FE around this place. Chopin would often use this kind of grace notes in the octave texture – cf. e.g. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 1st mov., bars 149-150, the Etude in B minor, op. 25, no. 11, bar 47 or Allegro de Concert, op. 46, bar 103 and 146.

Short accent in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE

Long accent suggested by the editors

..

The missing accent is most probably an oversight of the engraver of GE. In the main text, we suggest a long accent, since the shorter mark in FE is most probably related to its atypical placement between two top elements of the chord. Generally, it is impossible to reproduce such a notation, sometimes used by Chopin, e.g. in the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 2nd mov., bar 36, in print accurately.

Accent in FE (→EE)

No mark in GE

..

The missing accent in GE is most probably an oversight. One could have doubts whether the accent corresponds to Chopin's notation accurately – according to us, a short , mildly emphasisng the beginning of an ornamental figure, would be more suitable in this case. However, the notation of FE does not provide any grounds for such an interpretation, and thus, it remains anyone's guess.
