Fingering

b. 98

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

Fingering written into FES & FEH

Fingering in EE

No fingering in FE (→GE)
..

The authenticity of the entry in FEH seems to be highly likely in the light of compliance with the fingering of FES written by Chopin. Fontana's fingering in EE defines a different hand position, being a natural continuation of the fingering written over the two previous notes in FED.

3 fingering digits in FE (→EE)

2 digits in GE
..

The missing 3rd fingering digit in this bar is probably an oversight of the engraver of GE.

The 2nd finger written in FEH for b1 in bar 101 and e1 in bar 103 seems to be obvious. In bar 101, it was probably meant to be a warning of the use of the 3rd finger, symmetrically with the figure in the R.H., in which the 2nd grace note is performed with the 3rd finger.

The fingering of FES, given in the main text in bars 105 and 107, with slide of the 1st finger, willingly used by Chopin, was written by him in pencil and repeated ("enhanced") by Miss Stirling in ink. In this light, the differing fingering of FEH seems to be much less typical of Chopin. In EE, Fontana offers two fingering variants, the first of which overlaps with the Chopinesque fingering (FES).
