Slurs

b. 18

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

Slur from d2 in FE (→GE1→GE2)

Slur from f​​​​​​​2 in EE

Slur from g​​​​​​​2 in GE3
..

The slur of FE (→GE1→GE2) is most probably inaccurate – in all analogous places, the respective slur begins earlier, from the first or second semiquaver. In the main text, we adopt the former solution (introduced also in GE3) – see bar 30.

b. 20

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

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

Slur suggested by editors
..

The missing slur over this group of semiquavers must be considered inadvertence – it is encompassed with a slur in all analogous bars. In the main text, we add a slur after bar 55 and 95.

b. 23-24

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

Slur in bar 23 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur to bar 24 in GE3
..

In GE3, the slur was arbitrarily extended. There is a similar situation in bars 31-32.

b. 30

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

Slur from f​​​​​​​2 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur from g​​​​​​​2 in GE3
..

According to us, it is highly likely that the differences in the placement of the beginning of the slur in this and analogous bars (bar 18, 22, 26, 53, 93, 273 and 281) are of accidental nature and do not signalise differences in performance intended by the composer. Due to this reason, in the main text we unify those slurs, considering the marks in bar 22, 26 and 53 to be most credible. An identical change was introduced in GE3.

b. 31-32

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

Slur in 2nd half of bar in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur to bar 32 in GE3

Whole-bar slur suggested by the editors
..

According to us, the missing slur over the 1st half of bar 31 is rather to be considered an inaccuracy, even if this was the notation of [A]. In this case, we take into account the slur in analogous bar 23 as well as the fact that among all appearances of that theme (excluding bars 320-327 due to their two part writing), the discussed place and bar 20 are the only groups of semiquavers containing more than two notes that were not encompassed with slurs.
​​​​​​​GE3 arbitrarily extended the slur to bar 32 (cf. bars 23-24).
