Wedge in FE

2 wedges in GE & EE

No marks (our suggestion)
..

The version of FE with a wedge present only in the L.H. cannot correspond to Chopin's intention, who was clearly striving for homogeneous articulation markings in both hands in this theme. It is likely that the wedge in the R.H. was overlooked, like it was assessed in GE and EE; however, a glance at the markings of both appearances of the theme (bars 171-205 and 415-449) makes us assume an erroneously added wedge in this place, since a staccato mark at the end of a slur never appears in those fragments.

..

In the L.H. part, there are erroneous c​​​​​​​2-b1 semiquavers in GE1. A similar mistake was present also in FE; however, it was corrected therein, probably in the last phase of proofreading. The subsequent GE contain the correct text.

d3 in FE (→GE)

e3 in EE & FEJ
..

In FE, the second quaver in the R.H. is inaccurately printed – the notehead is actually at the pitch of e3, yet it is missing the ledger line that crosses it, as a result of which it can be interpreted as a d​​​​​​​3. The missing ledger line was added in FEJ; EE also contain the correct version with e3.

Accent in FE (→GE,EE)

No mark suggested by the editors
..

We omit the accent in the main text, which could have been placed here by mistake – in analogous bars 458, 466 and 470, the respective crotchet is not accented.

b. 469

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

..

In FE (→GE1→GE2), the second note in the L.H. is a crotchet, as a result of which the bar contains 5 quavers. The mistake, resulting from an inaccurate proofreading (the note was being changed from b to f​​​​​​​1, so the engraver might have erroneously printed here the next bar), was corrected in EE and GE3.
