Fingering

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I
..
Both in EE and FEH, the bar was provided with fingering very carefully, applying the same rule for the top notes of the thirds – the 1st finger on a white key, the 2nd – on a black one (cf. bars 322-324). The fingering of the bottom notes is also very similar – the 3rd finger on a black key and the 4th – on a white one; however, in FEH, the rule is modified when two subsequent white keys appear. As a result, both fingerings differ only in the digit applying to e1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH |

The fingering written in FEH and Fontana's fingering in EE applying to the same notes is generally compliant. However, the differences, appearing from the 5th semiquaver in bar 326, suggest that in the further part of the figuration, at least until the middle of bar 327, the fingering rule was different in each of the sources. In FEH, the last digits are 4141, so one can assume that the pairs of 41 fingers are to be applied also in the further part (most probably with a change to 51 in bigger intervals). In turn, Fontana suggests using the 2nd finger also on f2 and g2, which actually results in the 5th finger for the b1 notes already from the 10th semiquaver in bar 326. The authenticity of the fingerings has not been confirmed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

Fontana suggests the use of the 5-4-3-1- fingers, which is typical of him. Such a fingering corresponds to the hand position, yet it requires independent and strong 3rd and 4th fingers – cf. the Etude in C major, op. 10 no. 1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

The fingerings of EE and FEH differ at the beginning of the sequence, yet in the further part, one of Fontana's fingerings is most probably compliant with the entry in FEH. It is difficult to say whether and to what an extent one of these fingerings comes from Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |
