Fingering indications written into FED
..

The signs written in FED under the 4th quaver in bar 283 and under the 2nd and 6th quavers in bar 284 most probably indicate a more convenient performance of the passage consisting in taking these notes over by the L.H. It is not entirely clear what it exactly is – according to us, they are additional quaver flags (cf. the Nocturne in C minor, Op. 27 No. 1, bar 27). We include these meaningful practical hints in the main text.
