Fingering

b. 17

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Fingering in GC (→GE) & EE

Fingering in FE

Fingering suggested by the editors
..

The fingering in GC is written entirely with Chopin's hand. An identical addition was most probably a part of the base text to EE. In turn, in the base text to FE or proofreading of this edition, the same fingering was marked with a different set of numerals. In the main text we give slightly more accurate indications of GC (→GE) and EE, completed with the only numeral not included in these sources, yet printed in FE.

b. 21

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Two fingering digits in GC (→GE) & EE3

Five digits in FE

No fingering in EE1 (→EE2)
..

FE includes more fingering numerals than GC, in which there are only two numerals (written with the copyist's hand), or EE1, which does not include any. Additional indications in FE were added either still in the base text (yet after having been copied by Gutmann) or in the proofreading of this edition. The fingering of EE3 probably comes from GE.

b. 22

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

No digit in GC (→GE)

'5' in FE & EE
..

Lack of the '5' digit over the 7th semiquaver in GC (→GE) is certainly an oversight of the copyist.

b. 24-26

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The three times repeated '3' digit – over the 13th note of each of these bars – was added by Chopin in FED.

b. 26

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Fingering digit in GC & EE

No fingering in FE & GE
..

The fingering numeral, present in GC and EE, was overlooked in GE. Its absence in FE is certainly a result of an oversight too.
