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.

Slur in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

 

Lengthened slur in FES

..

The slur in the L.H. in AI and FE (→GE,EE) embraces only two bars (in AI the beginning and the end are not precisely indicated). In FES Chopin extended the slur until D in bar 17.

Our variant suggestion

The slur combining the octave with the semiquavers in bar 17 was added in pencil – probably by Chopin – in FED. Cf. the note on the slur in the L.H.
