b. 412

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

Staccato dots in FE (→EE)

No marks in GE
..

The missing dots in GE are most probably an oversight, although it cannot be ruled out that the markings were added in the last proofreading of FE – cf. bar 430.

b. 414

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

..

In GE3, the repeated chords were written in an abbreviated manner as a crotchet with semiquaver tremolo.

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.

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

..

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.

No slur in FE

Slur in GE & EE
..

In FE, the missing slur in the L.H. is a patent inaccuracy (in addition, the staccato marks in the 2nd half of the bar were overlooked, not to mention the Terzverschreibung error – see the subsequent notes in this bar). The slur was added in GE and EE.
