b. 89-90

Fingering in A

FE (→GE)

Our suggestion

..

The fingering in the L.H. was written by Chopin in A, yet in FE (→GE) it was inaccurately reproduced – lack of digits in the last group of semiquavers in bar 89 and at the beginning of bar 90 is probably accidental. On the other hand, Chopin completed the fingering in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), by adding the digits '1' and '2' in the middle group in bar 89. As all authentic digits complement each other, we include them all in the main text. In EE Fontana developed Chopin's fingering drawn from FE.

b. 91

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

in A

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

..

According to us, it seems more likely that con forza written in A was overlooked in FE (→GE,EE).

Fingering '5' in A

No fingering in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Lack of the fingering digit in FE (→GE,EE), which was clearly written in A, is most probably a mistake. The not very legible mark visible in A over the 1st note in the R.H. may be the digit '1'. Having no certainty of this, we consider it, as the use of the 1st finger in this place is beyond any doubt.
