Fingering

b. 1

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No fingering in AI & FE (→GE)

Fingering in EE

Fingering written into FES

..

In the version prepared for print, the first fingering numerals appear not until bar 12. However, during the lessons with Chopin, the indications concerning the fingering proved to be necessary already earlier. In the main text we consider the fingering written by Chopin in FES. In EE Fontana also offered his suggestion for bar 1, yet this fingering, avoiding the use of the 1st finger on black keys, diverts from the one by Chopin.

Fingering written into FES

Fingering written into FED & FES in bars 10 & 60

..

In the main text we give here the fingering written by Chopin in FED in analogous bar 60 (cf. General Editorial Principlesp. 17). Some of these numerals are also written in bar 2 (FES) and bar 10 (FED and FES).

b. 4

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No fingering in AI & FE (→GE)

Fingering in EE

..

While adding the fingering in EE, Fontana indicated the fingering of the five-note chord at the end of the bar. It suggests that, according to him, striking simultaneously two black keys with the 1st finger was not a generally known grip.

b. 4-6

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No fingering in AI & FE (→GE)

Fingering in EE

..

The fingering in EE was Fontana's addition. The fingering in bar 6 is contrary to the indications written in FES, probably by Chopin, in a pianistically similar place, in bar 20.
