Fingering in EE

..

In EE Fontana added the fingering repeated from analogous bars. In bars 19-23 it does not differ from the fingering foreseen by Chopin. In bar 24 Fontana adapted Chopin's fingering of the similar figure in bar 10 to different intervals.

b. 24

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Semibreve in A & GE

Minim in FE (→EE)

..

The rhythmic value of the chord in FE – a minim – is probably erroneous, as in the 2nd half of the bar there is no relevant rest. The error was corrected both in EE (by adding a rest) and GE (by changing the minim to a semibreve). In the main text we give the latter, compliant with the notation of A.

Fingering in FED, interpretation

..

The fingering printed in FE is certainly authentic, however, it includes a patent error consisting in switching the digits. Chopin partially corrected this mistake by writing '3' in FED instead of '2' for the 2nd note in bar 25. In the main text we give the already fully corrected version of this fingering, already introduced in GE. Fontana, while checking and adding the fingering in EE, also corrected this error.
