b. 347

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

Long accent in FE (probable reading→EE)

Short accent in GE1 (→GE2)

​​​​​​​in GE3

​​​​​​​ – our alternative suggestion
..

It is unclear which mark Chopin meant at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar. In FE, the mark resembles an accent (short or long), yet it cannot be ruled out that it was supposed to be a ​​​​​​​, although certainly not as long as in GE3. A natural performance contains both an accent and diminuendo, which is best conveyed in one mark by a long accent or a slightly different short diminuendo hairpin. A similar problem appears also in bars 390-391.

No fingering in sources

Fingering written into FED in bar 353
..

In the main text, we suggest a fingering digit entered into FED in an identical situation in the next bar – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 17. An authentic (printed) fingering of the R.H. is already given in that place.

The fingering of FEH partially repeats and complements the printed Chopinesque indications, determining their most natural continuation.
