The authenticity of both differing Chopinesque fingerings is unquestionable, hence in the main text we include them in a variant form. The fingering of FED, with a shift of the 5th finger on white keys, requires a better sense of the keyboard, probably going beyond the amateur skills of Miss Stirling. It can also suggest performing the final fragment of the 1st half of the bar using "harmonic legato" – in this case, holding the d category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FES |

In the main text, we include the fingering of FES, based almost certainly on Chopinesque indications. An identical fingering is featured also in FEH. This part of figuration was provided with fingering also by Fontana in EE; however, he suggested transferring the hand instead of a cross-over over the 1st finger. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEH |

Initially, FEH copied the 4th finger for the 1st semiquaver in bar 124, which was then changed to the 5th one, which distinguished that fingering from the one given by Fontana in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

Fontana's fingering given in EE almost certainly does not come from Chopin, since it is difficult to assume that Fontana could have had such precise, variant indications of the composer at his disposal. The authenticity of the fingering written by a foreign hand in FEH is also questionable. The basic scheme of both fingerings, considering the first variant of the fingering of EE, are in common with each other; the difference applies only to the beginning, which deviates from the scheme in Fontana's version. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

The essential difference between the fingering of FEH and EE consists in the performance manner of the descending third in each group of semiquavers – in FEH, the fingers 2-3 were used, in EE – 2-4. It is difficult to say if and which of them corresponds to the fingering conceived by Chopin, since the authenticity of the fingering in these sources has not been confirmed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |
