Another interpretation of annotation in FEJ |
Two slashed dashes written – probably by Chopin – in FEJ pose difficulties at the time of interpretation. The most possible one is the deletion of the bottom notes of the chords on the 4th and 6th quavers. We include this possibility – due to the relation of the included signs to the doubts concerning the pitch of the bottom note of the last chord – in the note concerning this sound. Another possibility – less likely due to a significant angle of inclination of these dashes – is the interpretation of one or both dashes as fingering numerals. The ones would probably mean a simultaneous stroke of the e
1-g1 third with the 1st finger. This kind of grip of two black keys was used by Chopin and marked a few times, e.g., in the Concerto in E minor, Op. 11, 2nd mov., bar 57 and the Prelude in A major, Op. 28 No. 7, bar 12. A possible choice of one of these possibilities is left at the discretion of the performer.
