b. 625-626

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

In FED one can see two diagonal lines, written with a flourish. Their significance remains a mystery, although one of them could be interpreted as a mark emphasising the meaningful coherence of the chords in these bars.

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

In the main text, we give a fingering that was probably written by Chopin in FEH, essentially compliant with the Chopinesque entry in FED. In this situation, the authenticity of a different fingering, given by Fontana in EE, seems to be out of the question.

b. 665-666

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

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering in FED quite significantly differs from the other entries in this copy in terms of size and font, so it seems that it could not have been written by Chopin or Miss O'Meara. In spite of that, the fingering is practically identical with the one that Chopin wrote above a similar sequence of chromatic fourths in the copy of the Grand Duo Concertant, Dbop. 29 belonging to Miss Forest.
