Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt III

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Inaccuracies in FE

b. 362-363

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

..

FE is missing the necessary accidentals at the beginning of the last triplet in bar 362. Moreover, the  raising e1 to e1 in bar 363 is only just at the beginning of the last triplet. In turn, a  is unnecessarily repeated before e2 at the end of the 1st triplet in bar 363. The missing accidentals were added both in GE and EE; however, the revisions were inaccurate – the erroneous accidentals were not completely removed, while EE added even a new one, a  before d2 at the beginning of the 2nd triplet in bar 363. It is only GE3 that introduced a notation compliant with all contemporary standards.

b. 366-367

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

..

In FE, these bars are written very inaccurately in terms of the accidentals in the passage in the R.H. – they are missing before the 6th, 11th and 12th semiquavers in bar 366, while in bar 367, they are present only before the 1st and 2nd notes. In GE and EE, all necessary accidentals were added; however, those in the 2nd triplet in bar 367 were added only in EE and GE3.

b. 367

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

..

FE is missing an accidental before the last semiquaver of the bar. The patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE (EE contains an erroneous note, i.e. e – see the adjacent note).

No markings in FE (→GE1→GE2)

..

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.

F1 tied in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

F1 repeated in GE3
..

In FE (→GE1→GE2), the tie of F1 is present only in bar 169 (at the end of the line). EE corrected the patent defect, whereas GE3 completely omitted the tie, which is probably a mistake.
