Pupil's copy of FE3, from the collection of Chopin’s works belonging to his pupil Camille O'Méara-Dubois. It contains the fingering in bars 1, 3, 7, 8 and 19 added in pencil by the composer, as well as a few others, not too legible, signs, probably illustrating lesson hints concerning distinctive phrasing ( or slur in bars 3-4, slur in bar 11 and  in bar 23).
