Works of Chopin (Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin, 1810~1849) have been loved by and familiar with many people. Those whoever aim at pianists have also studied his works. Actually his music has been numerously published until now. In his lifetime, there are both his autographs and copies by his pupils. His first editions were published in France, German and Great Britain. After his death, many manuscripts have been edited in the world. Thus these editions brought about differences in various ways. As for fingering, revisers often added numbering to play well. The fingering is important for players since it influences their playing. There are several ways of fingering in a passage, and it changes not only quality and vibration of a sound but also expression of the fraise. Furthermore, it is necessary to propose suitable fingering for each person since individual hands and fingers are different in size. In the last autumn, we happened to obtain a photocopy of "Etudes op.10" in Warsaw that is one of the autographs of Chopin on which he himself made notes. In this study, we examined the fingering presented by Chopin himself and revisers in the entire parts of "Etudes op.10", and followed the alterations. From these verifications, we discuss relevancy between the fingering and piano-playing, and also significance of the fingering by Chopin.
