b. 136-137

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

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Chopin's & Fontana's fingering in EE

..

Like in bars 128-129, the fingerings entered in FEH and given by Fontana in EE complement the Chopinesque printed indications.

b. 136-168

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

..

Just like in b. 4-36, in the main text we keep the notation of the bars filled with rests used by Chopin in A (→FC). The majority of the editions complemented the notation with digits denoting the number of bars (1 or 2 in b. 155-156) or numbering the bars (1 or 1 2).

b. 136-137

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

No markings in FE

Staccato dot in GE

Slur & wedge in EE

Slur suggested by the editors

..

We suggest adding a slur in the main text, which, as indicated by the comparison with three previous similar motifs, was most probably overlooked. In turn, there are no grounds to regard the versions of GE and EE, in which the 1st quaver in b. 137 was provided with a staccato mark, as authentic.

b. 136-137

composition: Op. 50 No. 3, Mazurka in C♯ minor

Slur in bar 137 in AF

Slur in FE (→EE)

Slur to bar 137 in GE

..

The slur of AF is almost certainly Chopin's mistake, which is indicated by a comparison with all analogous figures – b. 10-11, 12-13, 102-103, 104-105 and 134-135. The version of FE (→EE) is most probably a result of an inaccurate interpretation of the slur of AF, written with a flourish (like in b. 134-135).

b. 136

composition: Op. 23, Ballade in G minor

più vivo in A

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

..

The più vivo indication was entered into A instead of the earlier sempre più vivo (which was deleted). According to us, the omission of sempre could have been correlated with it having been added before più animato in b. 126 (that sempre having been added later is evidenced by an unnaturally greater gap between sempre and più than between più and animato). In this situation, forgoing the indications in two places for a single più animato in b. 126, which we can see in FE (→GE,EE), can be considered the last stage of shaping the agogic changes in this fragment – Chopin could have assumed that such a solution would define here the relationships between the tempi in a simplest and most accurate manner, since it is from this bar that a new section begins, featuring a clearly different texture.
