b. 169

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

Fingering written into FED, possible reading

No teaching fingering

..

The interpretation of the fingering in FED is not easy, since the digits were written on top of each other a few times, which hampers their interpretation. Initially, 3 or 4 digits '2' were written in a delicate handwriting: . The later layer includes pairs of digits encompassed with little curved lines; some of them were probably changed, but it was most probably 3 groups of 32 that were eventually left. Such notation is generally used to mark changes of fingers; however, in this context, one should rather expect pairs of 23, like it was marked by Chopin in the Variations, op. 2, bars 59 and 61. Therefore, the notation could still be wrong, in spite of corrections. Another possibility is to play three times simultaneously with two fingers. A suggestion for such an exceptional expressive fingering may be recognised also in the Mazurka in A minor, op. 59, no. 1, bar 25.

at end of bar in GE

..

The  mark having been placed at the end of the bar in GE is an arbitrary and undoubtedly erroneous revision. In this edition, the pedalling markings were similarly erroneously reproduced also in b. 170, 171 and 172.

Our variant suggestion

..

According to us, neither source nor stylistic criteria allow us to give preference to any of these versions. Due to the above reason, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
