The authenticity of the entry in FEH seems to be highly likely in the light of compliance with the fingering of FES written by Chopin. Fontana's fingering in EE defines a different hand position, being a natural continuation of the fingering written over the two previous notes in FED.

In FE (→EE,GE1→GE2), there is no  restoring b2 in the 2nd group of grace notes and no  restoring f1 in the last group in the L.H. These harmonically patent oversights of Chopin were corrected only in GE3 and, partially, in the pupils' copies: a  was added in FES, a  – in FEH.

The fingering of FES, given in the main text in bars 105 and 107, with slide of the 1st finger, willingly used by Chopin, was written by him in pencil and repeated ("enhanced") by Miss Stirling in ink. In this light, the differing fingering of FEH seems to be much less typical of Chopin. In EE, Fontana offers two fingering variants, the first of which overlaps with the Chopinesque fingering (FES).
