The addition performed in pencil in FES, hardly legible, especially in b. 4, most probably represents two digits (3) marking the fingering and written on the side. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

In the main text we include the fingering entered most probably by Chopin into FES. In addition to digits, there is also a mark implying that the e1 note should be performed by the R.H., which the notation of FE completely ignores, since the note was moved to the bottom stave. An analogous hint, in the form of an additional quaver flag pointing upwards, is also in FEJ. In the main text, in which we keep the original division of the text between the staves, we do not include those annotations, since they are superfluous. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In FES there is a small, diagonal line before a distinct fingering digit (2), which may be interpreted as 1, which would then refer to the e grace note. We do not include that possibility in the main text, since the meaning of that line is uncertain (not all pencilled marks in the Chopinesque teaching copies are interpreted in a satisfactory way; there are also some that probably do not carry any meaning at all – they are random traces of gestures of a hand holding the pencil – see, e.g. the 4th line on this page of FES, b. 17-21). category imprint: Differences between sources |
