b. 178

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

No slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur in GE3
..

In the main text, we add a slur encompassing the characteristic, two-note motif played by violins I. The slur is present in analogous bar 422 as well as in all similar bars – bars 170, 186, 414 and 430. The slur was added also in GE3.

b. 179

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

..

In FE (→EE), there are no accidentals before the first chord. Therefore, the middle note should be interpreted as d​​​​​​​1. The patent mistake in this context – d1 is present throughout the entire previous bar, while d2(3) is featured in the 2nd half of the discussed bar – was corrected in GE.

b. 179-181

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

Short slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Double slurs in GE3

Long slur suggested by the editors
..

We give a longer slur in the main text, corresponding to the one Chopin added in the R.H., most probably while proofreading FE. GE3 also added that slur; however, the shorter, probably original slurs were preserved.

b. 179-181

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

Double slurs in FE (→GE,EE)

Upper slur suggested by the editors
..

According to us, double slurs in this place were not intended by Chopin; they are a side effect of proofreading aimed at replacing the short slurs with one long slur like in bars 171-173. The engraver added a new slur, yet he did not remove the old ones, which Chopin either did not notice or accepted, since it does not impede the interpretation of phrasing. Due to this reason, in the main text we give only the upper, longer slur.

b. 180-181

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

Fingering written into FEH (whole)

No teaching fingering

Fingering written into FEH probably by Chopin
..

The fingering visible in FEH was written here probably first by the pupil and then changed and completed. The correction, performed by a different hand than the original entry and similar to Chopin's handwriting, allows us to evaluate the authenticity of the later entry to be highly likely, hence we give it in the main text.
