The fingering of the entire phrase comes from FEJ, and the only alternative entry in b. 1 – from FES. That fingering differentiation in those copies is most probably preserved also in identical b. 9. Anyway, it is very likely that the difference concerns only the d1 crotchet and the c1 quaver. We assume that both possibilities come from Chopin, even if they were not written by his hand. In turn, there are no grounds to consider the fingering of EE to be authentic, which we place over notes for the purpose of clarity. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEJ |

composition: Op. 28 No. 6, Prelude in B minor
..
In the main text we give the fingering of FEJ, complemented at the beginning of b. 3 by the digits drawn from FES, compliant with it in the part where it is written. In FEJ one can see corrections of fingering – in b. 3, '4' was changed to '3' over the d2 semiquaver, while in b. 4 the last three notes were initially provided with the following digits: 1 2 3.We assume that the change was introduced or indicated by Chopin. The authenticity of the initial version, which is otherwise completely natural in terms of piano performance, is more problematic, and the authenticity of the indication of EE, which is compliant with it, is practically ruled out. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEJ |

FE overlooked the general part of the octave sign over the initial, highest fragment of figuration (in the majority of the sources, including FE, it embraces also half of bar 6). The only visible trace of the indication is the word loco, which was used to end the octave sign in the times of Chopin. This patent error was corrected in FED and FEJ. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Errors in FE , Annotations in FED , Annotations in FEJ |
