b. 225

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

a3-a3 in FE

b3-a3 in GE, EE & FEH (contextual interpretation)

a3-b3 in FEH, literal reading
..

The version of FE is almost certainly erroneous: both the missing interval of an octave before the topmost note of the passage and repetition of this note disrupt the regular melodic and pianistic nature of the figuration – cf. analogous phrases in bars 221 and 228-231. The correction of the text in the remaining editions was most probably introduced on the basis of comparison with the analogous bars. Moreover, a correction is written also in FEH; however, it was not the sixth but the seventh semiquaver that was changed, probably by mistake.

b. 225

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

..

In the main text, we add a cautionary  before a3. In turn, we omit the ​​​​​​​ before a1 in the chord in the L.H., which is present in FE (→EE). Its absence in GE may mean that it was added in the last phase of proofreading (cf. bar 221).

b. 230

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

a3-a3 in FE (→GE1→GE2)

b3-a3 in EE & GE3
..

We consider the version of FE (→GE1→GE2) to be erroneous due to the reasons mentioned in a very similar situation in bar 225.

Third in FE (→EE)

Only e1 in GE
..

The version of GE most probably resulted from an oversight of the engraver of GE1 – cf. analogous bar 249.

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

..

We add a cautionary ​​​​​​​ before a2 in the main text. The accidental was added already in GE and EE.
