b. 1

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major
..
Chopin added the trill's fingering in FED. It proves that in certain situations, e.g., at the beginning of the piece, the composer would start the trill from the main note. category imprint: Differences between sources |

b. 1-3

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major
..
Three digits defining the fingering of the first passages of the Etude (based on one finger arrangement) were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In EE, Fontana added to them a number of next ones, developing the composer's hints, specifying, e.g., the places of crossing under of the 1st finger. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we give the fingering of the L.H. written by Chopin in A. Only some of these digits were correctly reproduced in FE (→GE,EE). The editors assume that the most probable reason for this state of affairs is rather the engraver's negligence than Chopin's proofreading. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major
..
In the main text we give the fingering of the L.H., written by Chopin in A. In FE (→GE) the '3' digit was overlooked in bar 5, which is almost certainly an oversight. In EE Fontana completed the fingering at the beginning of bar 5, adding digits for each note. EE3 erroneously features '2' as the 1st digit in bar 4 (it may be a mistake related to the transcription of the "continental" fingering system to the "British" one – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 10). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE , Errors in EE |

b. 4-8
|
composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major
..
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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
