b. 112

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Pedal from 1st octave after A (→GE)

Pedal from 2nd octave in FE (→EE)
..

In FE (→EE) the pedal markings are shifted to the right with respect to A, which, taking into account the likely oversights in bar 110 and 116, could be considered an inaccuracy. On the other hand, considering the authentic sound of the 1st L.H. octave, this version of pedalling results in a more transparent overview of the harmonic structure, with a distinct chord in second inversion. The A pedalling, in which this chord overlaps with the bass E1, obliterates its function of a delayed dominant. This makes us regard the FE version as potentially authentic. In our version of the 1st octave it is the A pedalling that is more natural, hence we provide it in the main text.

b. 112-113

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

Slur from quaver in A (→GE)

Slur from minim in FE (→EE)
..

In the main text we give the A (→GE) slur. The longer FE (→EE) slur, probably also authentic, can be regarded as an equal variant.

b. 112-116

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

No fingering in GE (→FE,IE)

Fingering in EE
..

In the main text we omit the inauthentic L.H. part fingering added by EE in bar 112 and 115-116.

b. 112-113

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

..

In A in the R.H. top voice the accidentals to the first quavers in each pair in bar 112 (a3 and f3) are missing, as well as to the penultimate quaver in bar 113 (b2). The patent inaccuracies were corrected in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 113-114

composition: Op. 29, Impromptu in A♭ major

 
 
..

The accent in A is ambiguous. We assume that it is rather short (as in the editions), although its interpretation as long accent cannot be excluded.
