Without teaching fingering

Possibly a fingering numeral in  FES
..

The sign added in FES may be interpreted as a fingering numeral 1. However, the editors do not find this reading obvious, as the use of any other finger would be so unnatural that it is actually hard to envisage the need for indicating the use of the 1st finger here.

The version of A

d1 not prolonged in GE

A stem and a dot added for d1 in FE (→EE)

The enriched version of FES
..

The versions of A, GE and FE (→EE) differ only in the accuracy of notation of the sustained note d1. In FES Chopin entered a different, melodically richer version of that bar that, in our opinion, may be regarded at least on a par with the version of FE. Cf. bar 59.
