Copy of the earliest impression of FE1 from the collection of Chopin's pupil Camille O'Méara-Dubois. Chopin's annotations were probably made in the years 1846-1848, since the copy was bought not earlier than 1846 (the cover bears a stamp of Brandus et Cie that was established in January 1846), and Miss O'Méara was Chopin's pupil until 1848. FED contains the following pencil additions made by Chopin:  (variant) in bar 10, fingering in bar 11, synchronization marks in bar 24 and bar 32.
