possible interpretation

The fingering digits are written in FED in such a way that they can refer both to the right and to the left hand. According to us, the first possibility is much more likely – someone working on the 1st mov. of the Concerto with Chopin would not have had problems with the fingering of a short fragment of the chromatic scale. In turn, in the less typical figuration in the R.H., an indication could have warned of, e.g. using the 3-2 fingering (to avoid the 1st finger on a black key).

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering of FEH complements the Chopinesque entry from FED; its authenticity seems to be highly likely.

Fingering in GE3

..

The 1st finger on the 4th semiquaver is almost certainly a mistake of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) – the digit was most probably supposed to concern the next note (d1). The mistake was corrected in FED and FEH; an appropriate change was introduced also in GE3. In the latter and in FEH, in the further part of the passage, a few digits were added, clarifying the fingering indicated by Chopin at the beginning of the bar.

Our alternative suggestion

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

The fingering of FEH determines one of possible continuations of the Chopinesque entry in FED, whereas Fontana's fingering in FE – a different one. In the main text, we take into consideration the entry of FED only, defining the most important element of the passage's fingering – the thumb under. As an alternative solution, we suggest a combination of the fingering of FED with three digits of FEH, which could have been entered by Chopin.

Single fingering digits in FED and EE complement the Chopinesque indications contained in FE (→GE,EE).
