Both numerals suggested by the editors |
Lack of the fingering digit over the 1st note is most probably an error of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE). Moreover, the status of the last digit in the editions is also not entirely clear in this bar. In A there are traces of a correction in this place, which could have been considered as '1' (perhaps Chopin started writing another a
3, yet he erased it, having noticed the mistake). However, we believe the explanation that Chopin added this reasonable and facilitating fluent reading digit in a proofreading of FE to be more plausible. In the main text we consider both discussed '1's.
