Fingering written in FES, interpretation

No teaching fingering

The majority of the digits of the fingering added in FES is not written with Chopin's hand, which, however, does not question the authenticity of these indications, yet it increases a possibility of potential errors (e.g. on the 4th semiquaver of the bar, the top '4' is definitely erroneous, most probably it was supposed to be a '1'). The fingering could have been dictated by the composer, yet taking into account the fact that this entire virtuoso fragment is deleted in FES, it seems to be more likely that it was rewritten from another pupils' copy.
