In the main text we give the fingering collected from complementary entries in GET, FED and FES (the entry in FES relates to an analogous fragment in bar  73 – cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 17). The numeral 5 entered in GET over the second semiquaver of bar 71  definitely means the change of fingers on the a flat2 crotchet, and therefore we add a tiny slur next to it.
