Fingering in A

Fingering in FE (→GE,EE)

Fingering written into FED

Our variant suggestion

Our alternative suggestion

The sources reveal Chopin's hesitation concerning the fingering in this bar. According to the indications in A and FED, the fingering order for the 1st group of semiquavers is 5215, while FE (→GE,EE) gives 5125. However, neither A nor FED determines the fingering of the two following semiquaver groups – it can be both 4215 and 4125. In the main text we adopt a variant solution, in which we collate the digits featured in the sources. Additionally, we suggest a notation including all fingering possibilities stemming from various interpretations of these source notations which do not determine the fingering in the 2nd and 3rd groups of semiquavers.
