b. 313-314

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

3 fingering digits in AsI

4 fingering digits in A

3 digits in GE (→EE,FE1→FE2)

No fingering in FESB
..

This note concerns the 4 fingering digits at the end of bar 313 and on the 1st beat of bar 314, whose interpretation in the principal sources does not raise any difficulties – excluding the digit over the 1st semiquaver in bar 314, which we discuss separately.
In AsI the fingering starts from the beginning of bar 314, whereby the first 2 digits were crossed out. The digits over e2 and d2 were altered and are poorly legible; however, Chopin most probably opted for 4-5, as it is in the remaining sources.
The missing '1' digit in the sources could have been caused by its smaller size in A, as a result of which it looks like an insignificant spot. The fact that FESB does not include any fingering digit in the R.H. most probably resulted from the engraver's inattention.

b. 313

composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

..

In A both L.H. chords were written twice. The initial entry was crossed out so thoroughly that it is only the shape and size of the blot that could allow us to assume that the topmost note was a d1, while the entire chord could have looked like as follows: d-e-g-d1. In the 2nd half of the bar Chopin initially wrote a d1-e1-g1-b1 chord (as a crotchet) and a crotchet rest.

b. 313

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

2 wedges in A

1 wedge in GE (→FE,EE,IE)
..

The missing wedge in GE (→FE,EE,IE) is almost certainly an oversight – in A the mark was written too high, closer to the R.H., hence it could have been overlooked while working on the L.H. part (starting from the 2nd half of this bar, Chopin wrote the marks concerning the R.H. above the top stave).
