..
In the main text for bars 1-2 and analog. we give the fingering written by Chopin in A (bars 1-2 and 5), as the lack of the 2nd digit in bar 2 in FE (→GE) must be the engraver's oversight. In EE Fontana completed Chopin's indications, adding digits next to each note in bars 1-2 and 9-10. According to us, the use of the 5th finger on the 8th semiquaver in bar 1 by Chopin suggests the 2nd finger for the next one and not the 1st one, as written by Fontana. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE |

In the main text in bar 3 we give the fingering from A without brackets. It was also reproduced in FE (→GE), however, omitting, probably inadvertently, the last digit. This reduced fingering version is also in EE, in which it was additionally repeated in analogous bar 11. Moreover, that edition adds digits in the further part of bar 3. In the main text, apart from the digits drawn from A, we consider a different fingering written by Chopin in bars 3-4 in FED. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Errors in FE , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering |

The fingering written by Chopin in A (two '1's) was completed by him in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In the main text we also consider the authentic entry in FED. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Authentic corrections of FE |

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 category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , Corrections in A , Authentic corrections of FE |

..
We give the fingering digits in bars 17-18 and 21-22 after A. In FE (→GE) the '1' digits were omitted at the end of bars 18 and 22, which we consider as a result of distraction. In EE Fontana added 9 digits, precising the fingering stemming from Chopin's hints and analogies. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Inaccuracies in FE |
