Fingering digit in Atut

Fingering in Atut, interpretation suggested by the editors

No fingering in FE (→GE,EE)
..

According to us, the distinct dash visible in Atut on the right-hand side of the last chord is a fingering digit (1), referring to the d1-e1 second. Its omission in FE (→GE,EE) is probably a result of misunderstanding this mark (or a simple oversight). In the main text, we add a brace indicating the notes this digit applies to.

In the main text, we suggest adding a slur after an analogous motif in bars 1-2.

..

The cautionary natural before c2 was added – probably by Chopin – in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).

..

In the part of the L.H. in Atut, a  is present only next to d in the 1st octave. In FE, a  was added next to the bottom note of this octave, while in the remaining editions, it was added also next to d1.

Slur in Atut

Slur in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Both endings of the carelessly written slur in Atut fall between notes – we interpret them as "embracing," hence concerning only these notes that are actually under the slur. In the main text, however, we adopt the version of FE (→GE,EE), which is uncontroversial, as far as the musical and graphic issues are concerned, and which can also be considered an interpretation of the slur of Atut.
