b. 298-301

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Fingering in AsI

No fingering in A (→GE→FE,EE)
..

In the main text we include, in a variant form (in brackets), the fingering pencilled by Chopin into AsI. Even if Chopin consciously abandoned it while preparing the Variations for print, according to us, it has a similar value as the fingering entered into teaching copies.

b. 298

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In FE1 the 2nd quaver is a d1. The mistake was corrected – perhaps at Chopin's request – in FE2.

The missing  sign in A (→GE) can be Chopin's oversight; however, it is not entirely clear where it is to be added. The pedal is certainly to be held at least for a half of the bar, yet probably much longer. The signs suggested by us determine a section in which a pedal's release sounds most naturally (it is best to do it gradually as the so-called diminuendo pedal).
Leaving out the pedalling in FE (→EE) is certainly a mistake.

b. 299-300

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

..

In A Chopin forgot to return the bass clef in bar 300. GE1 overlooked also the treble clef in bar 299. The mistakes were corrected – perhaps by Chopin – in FE (→EE). GE2 also includes the correct text.
