No fingering in A (→FEGE)

Fingering in EE

According to his generally observed rule, Chopin did not give here the fingering in FE, as he had already indicated it in identical figures in bars 1-10. In EE Fontana added the fingering after his own development of fingering in bars 5-10, yet not identical (the 2nd finger in the L.H. at the end of bar 47 is an alternative solution, while the 4th finger on d1 in bar 49 is certainly a mistake related to the change of fingering indications to the English system – General Editorial Principlesp. 10). In the main text we respect Chopin's decision expressed in FE of not repeating the fingering given at the beginning of the Etude
