A copy of FE2 from the collection of Chopin's pieces belonging to his pupil Jane Stirling. It contains a few entries in pencil, which may have been coming from Chopin:

  • cautionary flats before c1 in bar 43 and c2 in bar 171;
  • fingering in bar 175, perhaps also in bar 170;
  • change of dynamics from  to  in bar 175.
