The fingering of the sequence of thirds written in FEH is confirmed by a compliant entry in FES and in the fragment based on the chromatic sequence of minor thirds also by the Chopinesque fingering in the Etude in G minor, op. 25, no. 6, bar 5 (semiquavers 11-13) and bar 18. Due to this reason, we include it in the main text.
