  b. 51

3. finger in FC (→GE) & EE

1. finger in FE

Our variant suggestion

The third finger, written in all three Stichvorlage manuscripts – FC (→GE) and base texts to FE and EE – was changed by Chopin to first while proofreading FE. Hence the composer resigned from repeating the fingering arrangement appearing at the beginning of this bar in favour of full compatibility with the basic fingering scheme of minor third chromatic passages, defined at the beginning of the Etude (bars 5-6 and 9-10). However, taking into account the fact that the changes of the direction of movement naturally offer an opportunity for minor, local deviations, not breaching the general rules, in the main text we give both versions of Chopin fingering.
