In the main text, we give the undoubtedly authentic fingering of FED. The fingering of FEH is also probably authentic, especially since it combines with the fingering of FES and FEH written before and after in a more natural way. The compliance of the fingering of FEH with the fingering of EE added by Fontana is noteworthy.

The authenticity of the entry in FEH seems to be highly likely in the light of compliance with the fingering of FES written by Chopin. Fontana's fingering in EE defines a different hand position, being a natural continuation of the fingering written over the two previous notes in FED.

In FEH, in 4 places sharps reminding the correct pitch of the grace notes are to be seen. The marks, written by a foreign hand, are present before e3 on the 4th beat of bar 101, d3 on the 4th beat of bar 102 and a2 on the 3rd and 4th beats of bar 103.

The 2nd finger written in FEH for b1 in bar 101 and e1 in bar 103 seems to be obvious. In bar 101, it was probably meant to be a warning of the use of the 3rd finger, symmetrically with the figure in the R.H., in which the 2nd grace note is performed with the 3rd finger.
