b. 391

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

Slur above chords in FE

Slur below chords in GE1 (→GE2) & EE

No slur in GE3
..

Moving the slur under the stave was certainly caused by graphic issues. The absence of the slur in GE3 can be explained by an oversight or revision.

b. 393-394

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

Tie to f​​​​​​​1 in FE, possible interpretation

Slur ​​​​​​​​- in FE (different interpretation→GE1→GE2)​​​​​​

Slur & tie in EE

Neither slur nor tie in GE3
..

The curved line in FE is present only in the 2nd half of bar 393 (the last on a page), and it is unclear whether it runs from d1 or f​​​​​​​1. In the face of the missing ending in bar 394, it is difficult to determine its nature – it can be a motivic slur combining d1-e1,  like it was reproduced in GE1 (→GE2), or a tie of f1. The version of EE with two curved lines is probably arbitrary. In addition, it cannot be excluded that the very presence of a curved line in this place is a mistake; perhaps it was meant to be a tie of f1 in bar 392-393 – cf. the tie in bars 400-401 (it was considered erroneous probably in GE3).

In the main text, we omit this unclear and dubious marking, which results in a version compliant with analogous bars 397-398.

b. 394-395

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

No slurs in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

4 slurs in GE3
..

The complete absence of slurs in these bars must be an oversight. In spite of that, slurs were added only in GE3.
