Slur written into FED

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.

Fingering numeral in FED

Fingering in EE

..

In the main text we consider the 1st finger written in FED. The fingering, added by Fontana in EE, starts with a different numeral. Fontana suggested variant solutions for six notes in bar 19.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering in EE

..

In the main text we give the fingering written by Chopin in FED. However, it is unclear how it is to be understood, as it differs from the fingering of similar figures in bar 25. In EE Fontana added a fingering modelled on Chopin's indications in bar 25.

b. 29-30

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

No fingering in AI & FE (→GE)

Fingering written into FED

Fingering in EE

..

In the main text we consider the fingering written in FED, in spite of the fact that – similarly as in the previous bars – it is unclear how to complete them. The indications added by Fontana in EE are more detailed and they partially indicate a different fingering. Two numerals, determining the 4th and 3rd fingers over the 13th and 14th semiquavers in bar 30, are most probably swapped.
