b. 215

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

Fingering written into FEFo

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In the main text we include the fingering digit written probably by Chopin into FEFo. Fontana's fingering is undoubtedly compliant with this annotation. It does not influence the evaluation of its authenticity – according to us, the likelihood that Fontana had any authentic source concerning this issue at his disposal is marginal.

This way of marking the strike of adjacent white keys with the 1st finger is also to be found in other pieces by Chopin, e.g. in .

b. 215-218

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No signs in A (→FE→EE)

  in FC (→GE1)

  in GE2 (→GE3)
..

In the main text we reproduce the   hairpins after FC (→GE1), into which they were entered by Chopin. A precise interpretation of the range of the marks, particularly the first one, is hampered by an inaccurate synchronisation of the notation of the R.H. minims with the L.H. quavers. In GE2 (→GE3) both marks were extended so that they encompass two full bars, which does not result from Chopin's notation.

b. 215

b. 215-216

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

  in A (→GE) & EE2

No markings in FE (→EE1)
..

As in bars 199-200, the pedal markings were probably added to A after the basis for FE had been finished, that is [FC]. In EE2 the marks were added after comparing it with GE1.
