R.H. slur from minim in A

Slurs from minim in GE & FED

Different slurs in FE

Slurs from crotchet in EE

..

In the main text we include the slur for the L.H. added in a proofreading of GE – cf. an analogous slur in A in bars 91-92 – even though it is not entirely certain whether it was added by Chopin. The undoubtedly erroneously shortened slur in the R.H. in FE made the reviser of EE perform a similar change in the part of the L.H. The mistake of FE was corrected with an entry in FED, performed in pencil.

in A (→GE) & EE

No indication in FE

written into FES

..

The absence of a dynamic indication is most probably an oversight of the engraver of FE. The addition of  in EE was performed probably on the basis of a comparison with bar 91. In turn, the  indication written in FES, in spite of the fact that there are no reasons to question its authenticity, is, however, most probably only an ad hoc lesson comment, correcting the absence of the dynamic indication in FE. Therefore, we do not consider it to be an expression of a general change of the dynamic concept of this introduction.

Fingering written into FES

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering digit, written with a quill pen most probably by a pupil, was probably added in place of an entry written in pencil by Chopin.

Synchronization signs written into FED

No teaching indications

..

Characteristic synchronisation signs of the parts of both hands, in the form of lines combining the notes that are supposed to be played simultaneously, were added next to the groups of small notes in bars 7 and 9 in FED. Similarly in bars 26 and 75.

Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering

..

The fingering above the trill, written in FED most probably by Chopin, is a simplified notation, generally indicating the fingers with which the trill is to be played. It absolutely does not mean that the enote is to be repeated after dat the beginning of the trill. One can see another sign in this copy, which may be a fingering digit: the dash under the first dgrace note may be considered a one. However, such an interpretation carries a risk of uncertainty, therefore, we do not include it in the main text.
