  b. 53-54

The c-c1 octave at the last semiquaver in bar 53 was written by Chopin in AI after trying a number of different versions. The version, written in the final form in A, was then changed by Chopin for an a-f1 sixth at the time of proofreading FE (→GE,EE). Of course, the fingering added by Fontana in EE concerns only the last version (cf. bars 53-57).
