On the basis of Chopin's fingering given at the beginning of bar 19 in A (→FE→GE), Fontana added hints in the further part of bars 19 and in bar 20 in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

It is hard to define how the discrepancies between the sources were created; it could have been, e.g., a combination of Chopin's last proofreading of FE (change of '4' to '3'), not included in GE, and Fontana's revision in EE (change of '3' to '4'). The comfort of performance speaks against this possibility, as the 4th finger is a more natural solution after the 3rd one at the end of the previous bar. However, the strength of this argument is weakened by the indication of the 3rd finger at the end of bar 25, certainly by Chopin, yet unjustified with the position of the fingers. Therefore, in the main text we suggest both versions. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Differences in fingering , Authentic corrections of FE |

The fingering digit at the beginning of the bar is arguably Chopin's addition during his proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

It is hard to determine whether the omission of the fingering digit over the 3rd note in the editions is an error or a correction. The 1st finger in this situation is most obvious and its indication does not seem to be necessary. However, a deletion of an already printed correct digit seems to be equally unnecessary. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |

The '4' digit over the 6th note was omitted in FE (→GE), most probably due to distraction. In EE Fontana added the fingering for this note and a few subsequent ones, different than it would stem from Chopin's fingering. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE |
