3rd finger in FE (→GE,EE)

2nd finger as our alternative suggestion

..

According to us, the first of the Chopinesque fingering digits given in FE (→GE,EE) may be erroneous. In such passages, different sounds are generally played with different fingers, which together create a specific arrangement for a given passage, repeated in the next octaves (cf. bar 569). Therefore, it is generally enough to give fingering of the first figure as Chopin did, e.g. in the Etude in C Major, Op. 10 No. 1. Performing both g and a with the 3rd finger breaches this rule and impedes performance, not offering anything in exchange. However, if we perform g with the 2nd finger, which was just on the adjacent black key (f​​​​​​​), the 3rd finger may remain on a, which it played in the previous bar. Therefore, taking into account a possibility of a mistake, we give an alternative suggestion with the use of the 2nd finger.

g in FE (→GE,EE)

f, our alternative suggestion

..

Different sound of the 4th quaver than in all analogous bars (bar 226, 234, 250 and 585; cf. also bar 65, 73 and 89) could have been intended by Chopin, e.g. with regard to a slightly different shape of the accompaniment line in the next bar. However, since a mistake of the engraver cannot be excluded, we alternatively suggest a version that is analogous to the remaining bars. Mistakes consisting in adjusting figurations to a regular scheme, particularly when it appeared in similar figures (identical even quavers are present in bars 573-575), are psychologically justified and can be encountered in Chopin's pieces on a number of occasions – cf. e.g. bar 594 or 542-543.

 in FE (→EE), contextual interpretation

No accidental in GE

..

In FE (→EE), the sharp is placed over the grupetto mark. The patent mistake was corrected in GE by removing the erroneous mark. In the main text, we move the  to under the grupetto, since c​​​​​​​2 as the bottom note of the grupetto seems to be more natural than c2, and the intended mark  () having been misplaced is more likely than the erroneous one having been added in a place where it was totally absent.

FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Our suggestion

..

The version of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) is probably erroneous – cf. analogous bar 232. In the main text, we preserve the nominal rhythmic values of the original version, whereas in GE3 the 1st note was prolonged to a crotchet, which may be considered an alternative reconstruction of the rhythm intended by Chopin.
