b. 477

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

Short accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

Just like in bar 473, we suggest a long accent in the main text, assuming an inaccurate reproduction of the Chopinesque mark in [A].

Slur over triplet in FE (→EE)

Slur from e4 in GE1 (→GE2)

No slur in GE3

Slur suggested by the editors

It is difficult to assume that Chopin would have liked to embrace with a slur only one triplet in this bar. The notation of [A] was most probably unclear (e.g. due to crossings-out) or a misunderstanding occurred at the time of proofreading. The slur of GE1 (→GE2) is most probably an erroneously shifted slur of FE, while its omission in GE3 was probably meant to eliminate the clearly erroneous mark. According to us, the presence of the slur in FE proves that Chopin did not intend to introduce subtler articulation effects; therefore, in the main text we prolong the slur of FE so that it encompasses the entire passage. An additional argument supporting the validity of such a solution are numerous examples of prolonged slurs in the proofreading of FE, e.g. in bar 493 or 496.

FE is missing accidentals in the 2nd half of the bar. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE1 by adding a  raising a2 to a2. EE and GE3 contain also a  raising f2 to f​​​​​​​2.

b. 479

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

..

In GE1 (→GE2), the last note of the 3rd triplet is a semiquaver, like the remaining ones. The mistake was corrected in GE3.
