b. 7-9

composition: Op. 28 No. 3, Prelude in G major

No fingering in FCI & A (→FCGE, →FE)

Fingering in EE

..

Nothing indicates that the fingering of EE could be authentic. What is more, a mistake was most probably committed in b. 8 – in the middle of the bar, the b-a notes should be, apparently, played with the fingers 2-1, as they were in the previous bar, in an analogous place. In the copied fingering, it is, however, impossible to reach d at the beginning of the 4th group without crossing the fingers, which should have been marked.

b. 7

composition: Op. 28 No. 3, Prelude in G major

No arpeggio sign in FCI & A (→FE,FCGE)

Arpeggio sign in EE

..

Arpeggio in EE resulted from a mistake of the engraver of EE1, who placed it in b. 7 instead of b. 8.

     in A (→FE,FCGE)

b. 7-8

composition: Op. 63 No. 2, Mazurka in F minor

No fingering in As & EEW

Fingering in FE (→GE)

Fingering written into FES

..

The absence of fingering in EEW must be an oversight. In the main text we give both the fingering printed in FE (→GE) and the preceding pencil addition in FES – the 4th finger on a1, which almost certainly comes from Chopin.

b. 7

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt II

 in A (→GEFE,IE)

No markings in EE1

in EE2

..

The omission of both  marks is a mistake by the EE1 engraver, who committed several mistakes in this and the next three bars. In EE2  was added here, which Chopin used much less often. The same applies to bar 39.
