b. 96

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

Fingering written into FEH

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering in FEH implements one of the most characteristic Chopinesque pianistic ploys – sliding the finger from a black to white key (cf. e.g. the Sonata in B minor, op. 35, the 3rd mov., bar 28 and 31). Therefore, it seems to be likely that it was indicated by Chopin.

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

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Accent suggested by the editors
..

The missing accent must be considered Chopin's inaccuracy – cf. analogous bars 46, 48 and 95.

Fingering in EE
..

In the main text, we give the more accurately marked fingering of FEH. Its authenticity is confirmed by the digits written in FES, indicating almost certainly the same fingering. The fingering added by Fontana in EE is also compliant with the entries from the pupils' copies in this case.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering in EE & written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)
..

In the main text, we give the undoubtedly authentic fingering of FED. The fingering of FEH is also probably authentic, especially since it combines with the fingering of FES and FEH written before and after in a more natural way. The compliance of the fingering of FEH with the fingering of EE added by Fontana is noteworthy.
