The differences between the sources result from mistakes and inaccuracies of both the copyist and the engravers of FE and GE. However, the issues concerning the decipherment and the interpretation of A were caused by, e.g. a dense notation, without spaces between the staves – actually, in A there is no space for pedalling markings, added later, which resulted in them being placed inaccurately at times.

In the main text we include the R.H. fingering added in FEJ, controlled by Chopin. In this Prelude, as an exception, we give the fingering from the teaching copies without brackets, since it does not contain any other authentic fingering, which eliminates the need to differentiate between the teaching entries and the printed indications, which are "universal", so to speak. At the same time, we take into consideration the fact that due to the abundant number of those indications, brackets could have unnecessarily complicated the notation, obscuring the picture of the music. Therefore, we give the almost certainly inauthentic fingering of EE over notes, to differentiate it from the teaching fingering, placed under or – in special situations – before notes. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies |

Nothing indicates that the fingering of EE could come from Chopin, in spite of the fact that it is almost certainly compliant with his idea. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

The fingering of the entire phrase comes from FEJ, and the only alternative entry in b. 1 – from FES. That fingering differentiation in those copies is most probably preserved also in identical b. 9. Anyway, it is very likely that the difference concerns only the d1 crotchet and the c category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEJ |
