Chopin's fingering of these bars had been already indicated in A, although the end of bar 12 is imprecisely described – the 4th finger on the 14th note does not follow from the previous arrangement of the hand. In a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), Chopin added a relevant digit, however, it is uncertain whether he can be attributed the previous deletion of two '1's, over the 1st and 13th semiquavers. Considering the engraver's negligence to be a more plausible reason for their omission, in the main text we give all digits featured in A and FE. Both in EE and – which is much less frequent in the Etudes – in GE the indications of FE were completed at the beginning of bar 12, using Chopin's fingering of an analogous figure in bar 11. In EE the fingering of the 1st group of semiquavers in bar 13 was also completed.
