No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

Long accent in FED

Same accent suggested by the editors

..

In the main text, we suggest the accent added by Chopin in FED as a possible clarification of performance. While writing the Concerto, Chopin could have considered an emphasis on the minor subdominant, breaking the strictly diatonic sequence and preparing the eventual consolidation of a new key, A major, to be obvious; however, the pupil's performance of this place apparently lacked in the relevant importance.

Fingering written into FEH (bars 212-213)

Fingering in FEH, combined from bars 212-213

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

The fingering of FED in bar 216 expands upon the indication from bar 212; hence, in the main text we give it together already for the first time. Similarly, the digit written in FEH in bar 213 complements the indications from bar 212. The fingerings in those copies differ in the first digit only; however, it may mark a different fingering of the entire sequence of semiquavers, since the digits in FED may be ascribed both to the left and right hand. In the former, the continuation would be the same as in FEH, while in the final part, perhaps the same as in EE. In the latter, the continuation (with the L.H.) could be completely different –  – although, obviously, it is not the only possibility. Generally, comparison of the fingering of those three sources is based mainly on assumptions, since the ranges of particular indications do not overlap, or they overlap to a negligible extent.

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

In the main text, we include the entry in FED, whose authenticity is highly likely. The same digit – along a few more – is given also by FEH; in turn, EE has a different fingering in this part of the passage, maintaining the hand position from the 1st half of the bar.

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

In the main text, we give the fingering of FED, which comes from Chopin. A similar hand position is suggested by Fontana in EE. In turn, the entry of FEH defines a different combination, much less convenient (it may be a mistake).
