No fingering in CLI & Ap

Double fingering in FEcor (interpretation)

Fingering in FE (→GE,EE) 

In FEcor, apart from the '1' digit over the last e2 in bar 25 and '2-5' for the g2-e3 sixth at the beginning of bar 26, Chopin also wrote two '4' digits. The digits were not included in FE (→GE,EE), which may have stemmed from a misunderstanding. According to us, Chopin wanted to indicate an alternative fingering in this way, which we suggest in this form in the main text.
