b. 9

composition: Op. 27 No 1, Nocturne in C# minor

in GE and EE3

 

No sign in FE (→EE1→EE2)
..

The lack of in FE (→EE1→EE2) results most probably from an oversight of the engraver. There is no visible sign of a hypothetical deletion of the sign during the proofreading of FE. The hairpin added in EE3 is the first from a few revisions of this kind introduced in this edition.

No teaching fingering provided

Fingering in FEJ & FES

Fingering in FED

Both versions of teaching fingering
..

The teaching copies contain two undoubtedly different fingerings for this fragment. One is taken from #WfJ and #WfS, the other is a combination of Chopin's annotations in #WfD in this bar and in bar 16 when this figuration is repeated. In the main text we juxtapose these partly alternative fingerings. Cf. fingering in Sonata in B minor Op. 35, 3rd mvt., bar 31.
