In the context of the 1st half of bars 7 and 15, the position of the fingering digits indicates the hand with which a given note is to be performed: digits over the notes point to the R.H., digits under the notes – to the L.H. This characteristic fingering was indicated by Chopin in A (→FE) in each appearance of this place (bars 7, 15 and 47). The sense of this fingering, completed already in a proofreading of FE in the 2nd half of bar 7, was not understood by the engraver of GE who arranged all digits over the tie. Fontana also misinterpreted it, as in EE he indicated another division between the hands.
