Fingering in A

FE (→GE)

..

Two digits written in A in bar 4 are generally enough to decipher Chopin's fingering in bars 1-8. While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin completed the hints so that each of the finger arrangements used in these bars included the written out precise fingering at least once. We give this fingering in the main text. In EE, Fontana additionally expanded the indications drawn from FE

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

..

These bars, making up the second line of A, contain a few distinct examples of Chopin's manner of writing notes on ledger lines. With the visibility of such a note probably in mind the composer shaped the note-head as a short vertical stroke which sometimes was extended enough to look like an additional downward crotchet stem. In the discussed bars it pertains to R.H. c1 in bars 4-6, as well as c1 and a in bar 7. Telling are in particular the notes in bars 5 and 7, where the descending direction of arpeggios makes any sustentions impossible.
