Numeral 1 on first note in A |

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 a3, 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.
