b. 167

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

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent in FED

Same accent suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest the accent added by Chopin in FED as a possible clarification of performance. While writing the Concerto, Chopin could have considered an emphasis on the minor subdominant, breaking the strictly diatonic sequence and preparing the eventual consolidation of a new key, A major, to be obvious; however, the pupil's performance of this place apparently lacked in the relevant importance.

b. 171-175

No L.H. slurs in FE

Slurs in GE & EE
..

The missing slurs of FE must be an inaccuracy of notation – except minor inaccuracies, in the entire theme, both here and in bars 415-449, identical slurs are written in the parts of both hands. Slurs were added both in GE and EE.

There are no accidentals before the 3rd quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), so that the notes should be interpreted as d1-f​​​​​​​1. The obvious mistake is indicated by the orchestral part, which features d1 (in violins II) both in the parts of FEorch (→GEorch) and MFrorch. A comparison with the reappearance of that theme, a second higher, also clearly supports d1, since the respective place (bar 421) features e1 and not e1. It is the first of a few serious mistakes of FE concerning the notation of the orchestral inserts of that theme – cf. bar 179, 186, 187.
The natural lowering d1 to d1 was added in GE3.
