b. 264-266

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

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

The fingerings of FEH and EE differ either only in the finger on b1 (the 5th finger on c2 may be used both after the 4th and the 1st finger) or also in their further course (after the 1st finger on b1, the following c2 may be played with, e.g. the 3rd finger). The fingering of FEH was entered twice – in bars 264 and 266.

b. 264

composition: Op. 22, Polonaise

The notation of the last two quavers is inaccurate in the sources, since Chopin most probably considered the manner in which he wrote the chord on the 4th quaver of the bar – c1-f1-a1-e2-a2 – to be sufficient in order to mark the return to the main key of E major. Consequently, there is no accidental before the chord on the 5th quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), while the last quaver is lacking in the  restoring B. On the other hand, all sources contain cautionary naturals before d2-d3 in the last R.H. chord, unnecessary if we assume that the preceding chord was interpreted correctly. A revision of this notation was performed only in GE3, and then incomplete, since it was only the  restoring b that was added. In the main text we add both necessary flats (restoring b and B); we also add 3 cautionary accidentals –  of g1 and the flats of b1-b2.

The second dyad out of the group of four L.H. quavers in EE is an erroneous c1-a1.
