In the main text we give the fingering written by Chopin in FEcor. FE (→GE,EE) reproduced it with small imprecision, commented separately: '2' was omitted at the beginning of bar 20 and three digits in bars 25 and 26. In these bars Ap has only one fingering digit, '1' at the end of bar 26.

composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

No fingering in CLI & Ap

Double fingering in FEcor (interpretation)

Fingering in FE (→GE,EE)

In FEcor, apart from the '1' digit over the last e2 in bar 25 and '2-5' for the g2-e3 sixth at the beginning of bar 26, Chopin also wrote two '4' digits. The digits were not included in FE (→GE,EE), which may have stemmed from a misunderstanding. According to us, Chopin wanted to indicate an alternative fingering in this way, which we suggest in this form in the main text.

Fingering numeral in FEcor
..

The fingering digit for the lower voice, despite having been written by Chopin in FEcor, does not appear in FE (→GE,EE). It is probably a result of the engraver's inaccuracy.
