b. 141

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

No mark in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Wedge in GE3
..

The missing wedge in this place certainly does not indicate a performance change with respect to analogous bar 137; therefore, in the main text we include the wedge added in GE3.

b. 142

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

No mark in FE (→GE1→GE2, →EE1→EE2)

Short accent in GE3 & EE3

Long accent suggested by the editors
..

Accents are present in 11 similar figures of this and previous, analogous phrases, so that the missing mark in the indicated place must be considered an inaccuracy. In the main text, we add a long accent in accordance with the accents used in FE. The short accent added in GE3 and EE3 corresponds to the accents adopted in those editions.

b. 145-147

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

No marks in FE (→GE,EE)

3 vertical accents in FEH
..

In each of these bars, FEH features a vertical accent over the 4th semiquaver of the bar. The first two only confirm (or possibly explain the meaning of) the printed long accents. The third one may be considered an additional argument for adding an accent.

b. 145-146

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

2 long accents in FE (→EE)

Accent in bar 146 in GE1 (→GE2)

No marks in GE3
..

It is difficult to determine the reason the accent in GE was omitted – possible options are an oversight or a revision of GE (by analogy to bar 147?), or possibly the fact that the mark was added only just in the last phase of proofreading of FE. Not only did GE3 not complete that deficiency, but it also overlooked the mark in bar 146, which can also be interpreted as a mistake or revision.

b. 147

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

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

[] suggested by the editors
..

In the main text, we suggest adding a long accent after the accents in the two previous bars, particularly after the strictly analogous one in the R.H. part in bar 145. All three bars were provided with accents added in FEH, which may reflect lessons with Chopin.
