b. 64

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

No marks in FE (→GE,EE)

Accents suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding accents after similar motifs in the next bars. The intention that the entire progression should be provided with unified accents is confirmed by the accents in analogous bar 292.

b. 64-67

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

Slur from bar 66 in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur from bar 65 in EE

Slur from bar 64 in GE3
..

The slur of FE starts from the beginning of the line of text; at the same time, its beginning suggests continuation from the previous bar. That fact indicates that the initial part of the slur was overlooked, which we amend in the main text by starting the slur at the beginning of the two-part progression. The slur was identically prolonged in GE3.

b. 66-67

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

No tie to e1 in FE (→GE,EE)

Tied e1 suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest prolonging the e1 quaver in bar 66 to the next bar, like Chopin marked it – probably during the last phase of proofreading – in analogous bars 294-295. Taking into account the fact that this insignificant detail of accompaniment appears two times in total a few minutes apart, we consider inadvertence to be a more likely reason for discrepancies in the notation of analogous bars than an intention to differentiate between those places.

b. 66

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

..

In GE1, the 2nd quaver in the L.H. is a c1. The patent mistake is proven by the  before that note, totally unjustified before c1, and the version of analogous bar 294. The correct b​​​​​​​ was introduced already in GE2 (→GE3).
