Probable reading of the entry in FEJ

The variant proposal of the editors

..

The indication con forza occurring in A (→GE>FEEE) was deleted by Chopin in FEJ and FES, and removed by Franchomme from FEFr. We perceive those actions as the part of the radically altered concept for the dynamics in that part of the Nocturne (see bars 49-50). We also suggest the possibility of taking into account the somewhat unclear entry in FEJ.

No suggested fingering

We take into account the unquestionable and natural fingering written into FES. The fingering in FED is difficult to read: it was probably written two times and it is not clear whether the same digits were written twice (121), or whether they were different digits (121 and 14). Therefore we give both options as variants.
