The traces of removing the third , visible in FE, prove that it was  that was the original dynamic marking in this place.

b. 329-332

composition: Op. 11, Concerto in E minor, Mvt I

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

Fontana suggests the use of the 5-4-3-1- fingers, which is typical of him. Such a fingering corresponds to the hand position, yet it requires independent and strong 3rd and 4th fingers – cf. the Etude in C major, op. 10 no. 1.

b. 329

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

e1 in AsI

g1 in A (→GE→FE,EE)
..

We consider the version of A (→GE→FE,EE) with g1 as the last semiquaver in the bar to be Chopin's mistake. There are neither musical nor pianistic reasons to modify the scheme of a passage based on repetition of a model six-semiquaver figure in various octaves (cf. analogous figurations in bars 323 and 326), particularly in the third out of four (or even five) repeated figures. Therefore, in the main text we give e1, which is present in AsI.
