No fingering in A

Fingering in FE (→GE

Fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED

Our variant suggestion

The fingering of FE (→GE) is certainly authentic, as Chopin added it while proofreading FE. The same fingering, completed in the lowest octave by Fontana, is given in EE. However, in FED there is another one written next to the non-removed printed fingering, which is undoubtedly supposed to replace it. The second fingering allows for omitting a wider position between the 3rd and 4th fingers, which could be problematic. In the main text we include both authentic fingerings.
