b. 57

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

No sign in FE (→GE)

Arpeggio sign in EE
..

Like in analogous bar 16, the arpeggio in EE is most probably an arbitrary addition of the reviser.

b. 60

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

No ornament in FE (→GE,EE)

Arpeggio sign in FEH

Our variant suggestion
..

Taking into account a high likelihood of authenticity of other entries in FEH in this fragment, cf. bar 57, 58, 59 and 61, we consider this entry to be most likely authentic and include it in the main text.

The absence of the  raising the top note of the mordent from a2 to a2 in the sources is almost certainly an inaccuracy in this context. Such imprecise notation of ornaments – grace notes, mordents, trills or turns – is a quite frequent phenomenon in Chopin's pieces, cf. e.g. the Nocturne in C minor, op. 27, no. 1, bar 75 or the Sonata in B minor, op. 35, the 2nd mov., bar 54.
