In FE, the part of the L.H. is misaligned with the R.H. in the 2nd half of the bar – the last quaver, f, falls already under the dotted quaver c3. The inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE, whereas the mark indicating the right synchronization is written in FEH

Fingering based on FED in bar 32 & FEH

..

The fingerings entered into FED in this bar and in analogous bar 32 are generally consistent with the fingering entered into those bars in FEH – the only difference concerns  c​​​​​​​3. Due to this reason, in the main text we give a compilation of entries in bar 24 and 32 from both copies (cf. General Editorial Principlesp. 17).

The convergence with the fingering of FED provides, according to us, a sufficient guarantee for the authenticity of the entry of FEH, hence we include it in the main text.

Four-note chord in FE (→GE,EE)

Five-note chord in FEH

The variant included in FEH bears the hallmarks of authenticity. Leading the melody inside more extensive chords, often within the span of a ninth between the outermost sounds, belongs to Chopin's characteristic compositional and pianistic means (cf. e.g. the Ballade in G minor, op. 23, bar 114 and 174, the Prelude in F major, op. 28, no. 13, bars 30-32, the Sonata in B minor, op. 35, the 3rd mov., bars 19-20, the Prelude in C minor, op. 45, bar 79).

It is more difficult to decipher the fingering of FEH here, since it was probably corrected. However, it was the fingering written in bars 23-24 that was most probably repeated here, except two overlooked digits.
