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 category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

It is hard to define how the discrepancies between the sources were created; it could have been, e.g., a combination of Chopin's last proofreading of FE (change of '4' to '3'), not included in GE, and Fontana's revision in EE (change of '3' to '4'). The comfort of performance speaks against this possibility, as the 4th finger is a more natural solution after the 3rd one at the end of the previous bar. However, the strength of this argument is weakened by the indication of the 3rd finger at the end of bar 25, certainly by Chopin, yet unjustified with the position of the fingers. Therefore, in the main text we suggest both versions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Differences in fingering , Authentic corrections of FE |

The partially different fingering of EE (the differences include 5 sixths, from the 6th to the 10th quaver in bar 32) is uncomfortable to such an extent that one can suspect a mistake of the engraver who could have, for example, mistaken the groups of quavers – he wrote the fingering of the 9th and 10th sixths over the 6th and 7th quavers, while he placed the numerals foreseen for the 5th-7th sixths over the 8th-10th quavers. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in EE , Differences in fingering , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text we include the fingering entered most probably by Chopin into FES. It is noteworthy that it differs from the one indicated in FED in an analogous passage in b. 17. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FES |
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 Principles
