b. 368-369

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

Pedalling in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Pedalling in GE3
..

The difference in pedalling between these bars and analogous bars 360-361 suggests an inaccuracy of notation in one of those places. However, since both pedallings sound very good, it is difficult to decide which one should be inaccurate. Due to this reason, in the main text we strictly preserve the notation of the principal source (FE), leaving the differentiation or unification of pedalling of those bars to the discretion of the performer. In GE3, the notation of the discussed bars was changed to the one given by the sources in bar 361.

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

Like in analogous bar 360, the fingerings of EE and FEH are certainly compliant.

b. 369

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

No marks in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accents suggested by the editors
..

The accents present in three similar bars – bars 361, 363 and 371 – make us consider the absence of respective marks in the discussed bar to be Chopin's oversight. At the same time, the presence of long accents in bars 368 and 371 suggests that Chopin could have envisioned long accents for the R.H. in the entire four-bar section (differently than in bars 360-363).

An isolated  mark left at the beginning of bar 369 is almost certainly an oversight. Due to harmonic reasons, the pedal must be changed before bar 370, whereas performing any of the brilliant passages without pedal is inconceivable in this eventful fragment. Bar 360 opens a new page in FE, which favours such inaccuracies. Therefore, in the main text we add both a ​​​​​​​ mark at the end of bar 369 and a two-bar pedal in bars 370-371. The former was introduced already in EE, while GE3 introduced both.

..

In FE, there are no naturals before f​​​​​​​1, d1 (twice) and d. The necessary accidentals were added in GE and EE.
