b. 472-474

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

According to us, the majority of the digits visible in FEH in bars 472-475 was not written by Chopin. Two 'ones' that could be ascribed to him are discussed in a separate note.

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

We include two 'ones' written in FEH in bars 473 and 475, perhaps by Chopin, in the main text. The remaining digits in this section, added most probably by the pupil, are discussed in a separate note.

b. 473

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

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

In FE, the accent in this bar is clearly shorter than in adjacent bars (there is a similar situation in bar 477). However, taking into account the fact that the note provided with that accent is a delay in the form of an appoggiatura, we suggest a long accent in the main text, more frequent in this context.

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

..

The traces of proofreading of the slurs in the L.H., visible in FE, allow for deciphering the original slurs, divided with a bar line. There is a similar situation in bars 476-477.

The significantly shorter  hairpin with respect to analogous bars 472-473, musically unjustified, suggests an inaccuracy of notation. The reason for a later beginning of the mark could have been, e.g. lack of space in [A] – if FE had faithfully reproduced the layout of the autograph, Chopin would have had less space under the L.H. part in the discussed bars due to all stems pointing downwards. In turn, an earlier ending could have been related to the semiquavers passing to the upper stave (both elements of the layout were not taken into account in our transcriptions). Therefore, in the main text we give a ​​​​​​​ mark analogous to the one in bars 472-473. A similar change was introduced in GE3.
