Fingering in EE |
It is difficult to evaluate the authenticity of the fingering of FEH in bars 111 and 113 – the digits are very similar to the Chopinesque ones, but the fingering differs from the one written by Chopin (in pencil, under Miss Stirling's entry written in ink) in FES. From the pianistic point of view, both fingerings are natural and convenient – in the fingering of FES, the next note, b1, is most probably to be performed with the 5th finger; it may be easier for a smaller hand. The digits added by Fontana in EE define the same fingering that was written in FEH.
In the main text, we give the fingering written in FES the first time the passage appears, i.e. in bar 111 – cf. the General Editorial Principles, p. 17.
