b. 45-48

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

No fingering in FC (→GE), FE & EE1

Fingering in EE2 (→EE3)

..

Nothing indicates that the fingering added in EE2 (→EE3) could have come from Chopin.

b. 49-57

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

..

In bars 49, 52-53, 55 and 57 GE added rests for the bottom voice of the L.H., which was repeated in EE3. Generally, Chopin would not complicate the notation with such rests, which in piano music are not necessary for an unambiguous interpretation of the text. See also bars 50 and 51.

b. 49-52

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

No fingering in FC (→GE), FE & EE1

Fingering in EE2 (→EE3)

..

In the main text we do not include the non-authentic fingering of EE2 (→EE3).

b. 50

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

The minim is not extended with a dot in any of the sources. In analogous bar 86 one of the sources – FE – features a dotted minim, so one can ponder which of the values is correct. If we were to consider the authentic pedalling, ensuring that the note sounds throughout the entire bar, it would turn out that the choice of a rhythmic value is of the ideational meaning only. Therefore, we do not intervene in the source text and we adopt this version in the main text also in bar 86. In GE, the allegedly missing rhythmic value of the bottom voice was arbitrarily completed with a crotchet rest (cf. bars 49-57). The addition was repeated in EE3.

b. 51

composition: Op. 25 No 5, Etude in E minor

Minim in FC

Dotted minim in FE & EE1 (→EE2)

Minim with rest in GE & EE3

..

In this bar, due to the change of harmony on the 3rd beat of the bar, the issue of sustaining the d minim to the end of the bar has a crucial practical meaning. Therefore, the version of FC is probably a mistake, additionally confirmed by the rest, added arbitrarily in GE (and EE3).
