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).

3 dots in FE (→GE1→GE2)

4 dots in EE

6 dots in GE3
..

In FE, the missing staccato dots over the quaver in bar 116 and semiquavers in bar 117 must be considered an inaccuracy in the face of dots in the analogous places in bars 115-118. The mark in bar 116 was added in EE, while all three dots were added in GE3.

Chopin's & Fontana's fingering in EE

Both EE and FEH completed the Chopinesque printed fingering. Chopin copied the distance of a fourth between the 3rd and 4th fingers also in the 1st mov. of the Concerto, in bar 449.

b. 120-122

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

No L.H. slur in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur to end of bar 121 in EE, contextual interpretation

Slur to bar 122 in GE3
..

The added slur in the L.H. is obviously musically justified. However, in the main text we keep the original notation, since Chopin used both notations in similar contexts – with a slur only over the R.H., valid by default also for the L.H., or with separate slurs for both hands. Both EE and GE3 added a slur corresponding to the slur in the R.H. – in EE to the end of bar 121, and in GE3 to e3. The slur in EE begins only just in bar 121 (on a new line); however, its beginning points to continuation from the previous bar.
