Fingering in A

FE (→GE,EE)

..

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.

Slur in A (→FEGE) & EE3 (→EE4)

No slur in EE2

..

The slur of A was inaccurately reproduced in FE, as the part falling on bar 27 (the last in the line) was omitted. Perhaps it contributed to its omission in EE2. The sign was added in later EE,s.

Beginning of slur in A (→FEEE2EE3)

Our suggestion

..

By shortening the slur, the engravers of GE and EE4 probably considered the slur of FE as inaccurate. In the main text we try to render the plausible sense of the literally interpreted notation of A (→FEEE2EE3) in a possibly legible way.

Slur in A

No slur in FE (→GE,EE)

..

4th finger in A

No numeral in FE (→GE)

Different fingering in EE

..

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.
