b. 181-182

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering in FEH was written probably by the same hand that corrected the fingering in the L.H., hence most probably Chopin. Due to this reason, we give it in the main text.

b. 182

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

Different slurs in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Similar slurs in EE & GE3
..

The slurs of FE (→GE1→GE2) must be inaccurate, since the slur in the R.H. starts from the quaver, whereas the slur in the L.H. – from the semiquaver. However, it is not obvious which version is correct. A comparison of all analogous bars (bars 174, 182, 190, 204, 418, 426, 434 and 448) shows that it is the slurs starting from semiquavers that statistically prevail – out of 15 slurs (bar 174 is missing a slur in the L.H.) 11 begin in such a way; only 3 run already from the quaver (in bar 174, the slur in the R.H. may be interpreted twofold). Taking into account the above, we give slurs from semiquavers in the main text. It was interpreted in the same way also in EE and GE3.

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

Slurs from f2(1) in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slurs from b2(1) in GE3
..

An earlier beginning of the last slur in this bar, causing the slurs to overlap, seems to be an inaccuracy of notation, since such slurs do not appear in similar places at all. However, this version, potentially authentic, may be considered an acceptable variant. The slur was deemed inaccurate already in GE3.
