No e in FE (→GE1GE2)

​​​​​​​e in chord in EE & GE3

..

It seems to be unlikely that the missing e on the 3rd quaver could have been considered a mistake, which could have been suggested by a comparison with analogous bars. In FE, a corresponding note is absent also in the next bar, thus both bars refer to the shape of the accompaniment in the previous phrase (bars 272-279). Therefore, we consider the revisions of EE and GE3 to be unjustified.

b. 294

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

..

In the 1st half of the bar in FE, the secondary beam is erroneously placed between the 2nd and 3rd notes of the bottom voice.

b. 297-299

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

..

In FE (→GE1GE2), all octaves in the L.H. in bar 297 and the first two in bar 299 are written in an abbreviated manner (top notes with 8s under them). According to us, one of those digits – the last in bar 297 – was perhaps left by mistake, which is indicated by a comparison with analogous bar 69. However, we do not suggest that version here, since the entire Tutti shows numerous minor differences between the first and second time, whereas the aforementioned quaver is provided with a  mark in bar 297, which may be considered a justification of the sound enhanced with an octave.

b. 320

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

Semiquaver b2 in FE (→GE1GE2)

Crotchet b2 in EE & GE3

..

The version of EE and GE3 is a revision unifying this bar with analogous bar 324. It cannot be ruled out that FE misinterpreted the notation of [A] in this place, hence that version may be considered an equal variant. However, in the main text we preserve the notation of FE (→GE1GE2), which, despite being apparently less accurate, suggests a performance nuance that was perhaps intended by Chopin.

b. 320

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

No mark in FE (→GE1GE2)

Wedge in EE & GE3

..

The added wedge may be considered justified – in analogous bars the respective note is always marked staccato. In spite of that, in the main text we preserve the version of FE (→GE1GE2), since the note may be considered to be the first appearance of the top pedal note, and it cannot be excluded that Chopin imagined it being performed differently than before.
