Fingering in A

Wedge in FE (→EE)

Wedges in GE

Our variant suggestion

The wedges over and are a result of a mistake of the engraver of FE, who misinterpreted the '1's of the fingering. The first of them was removed in the last proofreading of FE (→EE), yet in GE it remained unchanged. In the main text we give the fingering after A, yet we leave the inclusion of the digit over to the performer's discretion, as in subsequent, similar figures (bars 4, 6, 8), Chopin did not once repeat it and it cannot be excluded that it referred to the original version of this fragment.
