b. 113-114

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

g2 repeated in FE (→GE)

g2 tied in EE

Tie to g2 suggested by the editors
..

A possible oversight of the tie of g​​​​​​​2 is pointed out by the orchestral part in FEorch (→GEorch) – in violin I, it is both a2 in bars 112-113 and the discussed g2 that are tied (there are no tied notes in bars 108-110).

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

e tied in FE (→EE)

e repeated in GE
..

The missing tie of e may be a mere oversight of the engraver of GE; however, the inaccurate placement of the slur in FE may mean that it was added in the proofreading.

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

Crotchet f1 in FE (→EE)

No crotchet f1 in GE

Quaver f1 suggested by the editors
..

The rhythmic notation of the 2nd and 3rd quavers of the bar is inaccurate in the sources. In FE (→EE), the f1 semiquaver is provided with an additional crotchet stem and also with a tie sustaining it to the next f1 on the 3rd quaver. As a result, the value of the crotchet was written in two ways, which seems to be a superfluous complication, particularly since prolongation of the respective note in the L.H. was marked only with a tie (imprecisely yet indisputably). In the main text, we suggest adding a quaver flag, which results in a precise notation taking into account all elements of the authentic notation. GE omitted the additional stem, which simplified but also impoverished the notation. Moreover, GE1 (→GE2) overlooked the tie of b (added in GE3).

Faulty rhythm in FE

Reversed dotted rhythm in EE

Crotchets in GE

Other interpretation of rhythm in FE
..

There are three natural ways to add the rhythmic value in which the notation of FE is lacking; we give them as potentially compliant with Chopin's intention. Two of them were implemented already in the first editions. In the main text, we give the rhythm adopted in GE, which, according to us, is most likely due to the calming of the course of music (rallentando in the next bar) and due to the presence of that very rhythm in an analogous context in bar 440.
