Fingering

b. 58

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

No fingering in GC (→GE) & EE1

Fingering in FE

Fingering in EE2 (→EE3)
..

The fingering of FE could have been added by Chopin in the base text to this edition or at the time of proofreading. It was repeated and completed in EE2 (→EE3).

b. 61

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

Two digits in GC (→GE)

Three digits in FE & EE2 (→EE3)

No fingering in EE1
..

Less accurate indications of fingering in GC (→GE) may be explained with the copyist's inattention or Chopin's completing the indications in the base text or proofreading of FE. The fingering in EE2 (→EE3) was almost certainly repeated after FE.

Fingering in FE

In the main text we include the unobvious fingering of FE. Its authenticity does not raise any doubts.

Fingering in FE, literal reading

Fingering in FE, contextual interpretation

Fingering suggested by the editors
..

The second of the fingering numerals, present only in FE, may be erroneous – the 1st finger may refer here only to b1, which does not result from the notation. It is likely that the engraver misinterpreted the wedge written in the manuscript, which is present here in the other sources.

b. 69

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

No fingering in GC, FE & GE2 (→GE3)

Fingering in GE1

Fingering in EE
..

GE1 and EE repeated the fingering of bar 5 here, which rather does not correspond to Chopin's intention. The editors executed the order of repeating bar 5 in this place too literally.
