The extended  hairpin is a revision, typical of GE (→FE,IE). In EE1 the mark was overlooked; it was added in EE2.

b. 2-12

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

..

In the ascending passages in bar 2, 4, 10 and 12 Chopin entered accidentals into A only in the first half of each bar, considering them valid also later on in the bar, next to notes placed an octave or two octaves higher. All the necessary accidentals were added in GE (→FE,EE,IE).

b. 2-4

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

No fingering in A (→GEFE,IE)

Fingering in b. 2 & 4 in EE

..

In EE the Sonata was edited by Brinley Richards; among others, he developed the fingering. We do not include his fingering version in the main text, as it is obviously inauthentic, while in the EE transcriptions we reproduce it using a smaller font in italics, reserved for fingering digits added by editors.

In many places, e.g. in bar 16, the fingering was complemented or changed in EE2.

On each page of the transcription, the notes concerning this fingering version can be found by selecting the "Fingering" tab from the "Notation" list.
