Continuous slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Separate slurs in FED & GE3

..

The unbroken – in spite of the rest – slur of FE (→EE,GE1GE2) must be a remaining part of the original version of the rhythm (with semiquavers without rest). The need to separate the first two notes from the following semiquavers was confirmed by Chopin with additional marks written in pencil in FED – a slashed line, underlining the significance of the rest (also in bar 201), as well as a slur over the first two semiquavers. Taking that into account, in the main text, we divide the slur, adjusting the phrasing to the rhythmic notation.

b. 201-202

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

No slur in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

Slur in GE3

Slur suggested by the editors

..

The absence of the slur over the descending part of the phrase must be a mistake, even if committed by Chopin in [A]. In the main text, we add a slur modelled after the slur in bars 197-198, including the correction added in FED. The line underlining the significance of the rest is written in FED also in this place, which is an additional confirmation of the slurs we adopted. An identical addition was introduced in GE3.

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

..

The fingering, marked with details in EE by Fontana, undoubtedly coincides with the Chopinesque fingering, indicated with a few digits in FED. We give the latter in the main text, since it came into being during a lesson with Chopin, although it was most probably only in 203 that the fingering was written by Chopin himself. The same fingering results also from the additions, performed by a foreign hand, in FEH.

Fingering in EE & written into FEH

..

The fingering digits present in EE and FEH and those written in FED and FEFo undoubtedly denote the same fingering. In the main text, we give the indications whose authenticity is most likely (FEFo and FED).

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED

..

In EE, indicating a fingering digit only on the last note of the bar suggests that it is the previous scheme that applies to the previous ones, which results in the 3rd finger on f2. In spite of the apparent concurrence, Fontana's fingering does not have to be fully compliant with the fingering of FED, written most probably during lessons with Chopin.
