In FE (→GE1), the last 8 notes are written as 2 groups of semiquavers. The division into groups suggests that Chopin meant a strict and regular division, so the notes should be demisemiquavers. A respective change was introduced in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Additional beams were added also in FEJ, although it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of such a non-characteristic entry. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Annotations in FEJ , Errors repeated in GE |

Fontana's fingering, natural in this context, is probably compliant with the one foreseen by Chopin – cf. a Chopinesque indication in a similar passage in bar 141. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

According to us, the likelihood of the authenticity of Fontana's fingering in EE is minimal. In EE1, it clearly contains a mistake – the 3-5 sequence under the 4th and 5th semiquavers is very inconvenient. The mistake was corrected in EE2 (→EE3), changing the digit under g2 to a '4'. However, it seems to be more likely that Fontana projected the fingers 3-4 for these notes in order to avoid the 5th finger on the black key – the use of the regular scheme 512451... would not have required such a detailed marking; it would have been enough to repeat 51 at the beginning of the subsequent groups of semiquavers, like in bars 142-143. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE |
