b. 317

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

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEFo

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

The 1st finger written in FED determines a different hand position than the fingering in FEFo (and also FEH and EE). The authenticity of both fingerings seems probable, however, to the main text we choose the latter which adheres to the pattern indicated in the preceding bars. Such a consistency supports additionally the authenticity of this fingering, all the more since we cannot completely exclude a possible mistake in FED.

b. 317

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Slur in A (→GEFE)

No slur in EE

..

This bar opens a new line. In the case of GE (→FE), the ending of the slur from bar 316 leads to confusion, since in the preceding bar none of those editions feature a beginning of any slur. Luckily, we are able to reproduce it in our transcriptions. Two possible interpretations of this notation – a slur from the last semiquaver in bar 316 and no slur correspond to the version of A with a correctly written slur and EE, in which this ending of a non-existent slur was removed.

b. 317

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

2 staccato dots in A

2 wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

..

As so many times before, the dots having been reproduced as wedges resulted from the simplified interpretation of the notation of A by the engraver of GE1. In this case, it is very difficult to notice the second one, since it is overlapped by the cresc. indication.

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

2 wedges in A

Wedge in GE1 (→FE,EE,GE2FESB)

No marks in GE3

Missing wedges result from oversights by the engravers of GE1 and GE3.

b. 318

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt I

No slur in A

4-quaver slur in GE1 (→FEEE)

3-quaver slur in GE2

..

The absence of the last of the three-quaver slurs in the L.H. is almost certainly Chopin's oversight. The slur was added in GE1 (→FEEE), by embracing the entire 2nd half of the bar with it. According to us, the addition can come from Chopin; however, it was most probably misinterpreted by the engraver. In GE2 the slur was shortened after previous figures, which we give in the main text as probably corresponding to Chopin's intention.
