Chopin's fingering of these bars had been already indicated in A, although the end of bar 12 is imprecisely described – the 4th finger on the 14th note does not follow from the previous arrangement of the hand. In a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), Chopin added a relevant digit, however, it is uncertain whether he can be attributed the previous deletion of two '1's, over the 1st and 13th semiquavers. Considering the engraver's negligence to be a more plausible reason for their omission, in the main text we give all digits featured in A and FE. Both in EE and – which is much less frequent in the Etudes – in GE the indications of FE were completed at the beginning of bar 12, using Chopin's fingering of an analogous figure in bar 11. In EE the fingering of the 1st group of semiquavers in bar 13 was also completed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

The sources reveal Chopin's hesitation concerning the fingering in this bar. According to the indications in A and FED, the fingering order for the 1st group of semiquavers is 5215, while FE (→GE,EE) gives 5125. However, neither A nor FED determines the fingering of the two following semiquaver groups – it can be both 4215 and 4125. In the main text we adopt a variant solution, in which we collate the digits featured in the sources. Additionally, we suggest a notation including all fingering possibilities stemming from various interpretations of these source notations which do not determine the fingering in the 2nd and 3rd groups of semiquavers. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Authentic corrections of FE |
