..

In FE (→GE1→GE2), the last quaver in the L.H. is a B1-G sixth in bar 1 and an A1-G seventh in bar 5. A comparison with the remaining sources of the orchestral part – FEorch (→GEorch), as well as MFrorch – proves mistakes of the engraver of FE. The correct text – a G1-G octave in both places – was introduced in EE and GE3.

Small crotchet in FE

Acciaccatura in GE

Appoggiatura in EE
..

The authenticity of the grace note in the form of a small crotchet raises serious doubts – a small quaver occurs here in the Flute I part of FEorch (→GEorch). The discussed notation was found erroneous already in GE and EE, and both introduced forms of grace notes may be considered to be potentially compliant with the notation of [A]. In the main text, we adopt slashed quavers, most frequently used by Chopin.

See I mov., bar 250.

Whole-bar rest in FE (→GE1→GE2)

No rest in EE & GE3
..

The rest on the top stave is most probably a mistake – in this bar, both parts are still written on the bottom stave. This is how it was interpreted in EE and GE3, where the rest was removed.

b. 23

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

..

Due to the fact that the octave sign used to write the 1st half of the next bar was started too early, the last semiquaver in FE is an erroneous f​​​​​​​4. The mistake was corrected both in GE and EE.

2 long accents in FE (→GE1→GE2)

2 short accents in EE

​​​​​​​ in bar 34 in GE3
..

EE reproduced the distinct long accents of FE (→GE1→GE2) as short. In GE3, the mark in bar 34 was changed to a ​​​​​​​, whereas the one in bar 36 was omitted. Those are arbitrary changes and a mistake.
