Fingering written into FES

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

In FES, Chopin again entered here a fingering given earlier in analogous bar 116. In FEH, the same fingering is marked, although the digits are written next to another set of notes. In accordance with the General Editorial Principles, p. 17, we do not include these indications in the main text.

Full compliance between the indications of EE and FEH may be a result of natural convenience of this fingering.

Chopin's & Fontana's fingering in EE

Both EE and FEH completed the Chopinesque printed fingering. Chopin copied the distance of a fourth between the 3rd and 4th fingers also in the 1st mov. of the Concerto, in bar 449.

b. 120-122

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

Slur to end of bar 122 in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur to bar 122 in GE3
..

The longer slur of GE3 corresponds with its range to the slur featured in the next passage (bars 124-126) in FE. Since the aforementioned slur of FE, having been added probably in the last phase of proofreading, seems to be more credible, it cannot be excluded that the version of GE3 may correspond to the composer's intention. Therefore, it can be considered a variant of uncertain authenticity. In such a context, both versions have practically the same meaning.
