Authenticity of the fingering written in FED, in spite of the fact that only a few first numerals reveal Chopin's handwriting, does not raise any doubts. However, the problem is constituted by the interpretation of its initial fragment – the e2 note seems to be provided with two different numerals, '1' over and '2' under. According to us, the upper numeral does not refer to this note, yet it is a part of the '31' fingering for the trill (3rd finger on g2, 1st on f2), which is detailed by the added bottom numerals, probably later.
