b. 432

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

No fingering in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Fingering in GE3
..

The fingering added in GE3 cannot come from Chopin, although its compliance with the Chopinesque fingering cannot be excluded.

b. 432-433

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

..

The notation of FE (→EE1) is devoid of cautionary accidentals in bar 432. In EE2 (→EE3), a  was added before a1 in the L.H., while in GE, also a  before the first f2 in the R.H. As the sequence is repeated in bar 433, all sources contain a  before f2 in the L.H.; moreover, GE introduced analogous additions to bar 432 – a  before a2 in the L.H. and a  before the 1st f3 in the R.H. In the main text, we include the naturals before a1 and a2 added in GE and add a  before f​​​​​​​1 in the L.H. in bar 432 (after an authentic accidental in the next bar).

b. 432-433

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

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FEH
..

One of the fingerings given by Fontana may correspond to the Chopinesque fingering; however, it is highly unlikely that those indications could come from Chopin. The authenticity of the entries performed by a foreign hand in FEH is also questionable.

b. 432-434

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

Wedges in FE (→EE)

Staccato dots in GE
..

In GE, the reviser arbitrarily changed wedges to staccato dots in the L.H. in bars 432-434.

b. 432

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

..

In bar 432, on a new line of text, there is no ending of the slur started in the previous bar in FE. In GE and EE, the slur was prolonged accordingly. In FE, one can see that the discussed place initially contained a shorter slur, from the 2nd semiquaver to g1. Therefore, the target slur, compliant with the slur in the R.H., was probably meant to replace the markings that FE feature in bars 423-424.
