In the main text in bar 3 we give the fingering from A without brackets. It was also reproduced in FE (→GE), however, omitting, probably inadvertently, the last digit. This reduced fingering version is also in EE, in which it was additionally repeated in analogous bar 11. Moreover, that edition adds digits in the further part of bar 3. In the main text, apart from the digits drawn from A, we consider a different fingering written by Chopin in bars 3-4 in FED. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering |

It is hard to define how the discrepancies between the sources were created; it could have been, e.g., a combination of Chopin's last proofreading of FE (change of '4' to '3'), not included in GE, and Fontana's revision in EE (change of '3' to '4'). The comfort of performance speaks against this possibility, as the 4th finger is a more natural solution after the 3rd one at the end of the previous bar. However, the strength of this argument is weakened by the indication of the 3rd finger at the end of bar 25, certainly by Chopin, yet unjustified with the position of the fingers. Therefore, in the main text we suggest both versions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Differences in fingering , Authentic corrections of FE |
