Grace note in FED

Our variant suggestion

The grace note indicating the manner of beginning the trill – from the top note – was written by Chopin in FED. Similarly in analogous bar 51.

Characteristic synchronisation signs of the parts of both hands, in the form of lines combining the notes that are supposed to be played simultaneously, were added next to the groups of small notes in bars 7 and 9 in FED. Similarly in bars 26 and 75.

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering above the trill, written in FED most probably by Chopin, is a simplified notation, generally indicating the fingers with which the trill is to be played. It absolutely does not mean that the enote is to be repeated after dat the beginning of the trill. One can see another sign in this copy, which may be a fingering digit: the dash under the first dgrace note may be considered a one. However, such an interpretation carries a risk of uncertainty, therefore, we do not include it in the main text.
