In the main text, we give a slide of the 5th finger, characteristic of Chopin, copied in FES. Therefore, the standard fingering added by Fontana in EE is probably inauthentic in the first half of the passage.

In FES, Chopin again entered here a fingering given earlier in analogous bar 116. In FEH, the same fingering is marked, although the digits are written next to another set of notes. In accordance with the General Editorial Principles, p. 17, we do not include these indications in the main text.

The fingering digit written by Chopin in FES naturally combines with the Chopinesque fingering of an identical passage in bar 117, given in FED. In this case, we give it in the main text where it was entered, since in spite of compliance, the fingerings are independent – it is also the 4th finger on f3 that can lead to the fingering of FED in bar 117, while the single digit in FES in bar 121 does not determine the fingering of the further part of this figuration.
