No fingering in FC (→GE)

Fingering in FE & EE2 (→EE3)

Fingering in EE1

It is hard to state how the difference between FC (→GE) and EE1 was created – it may be a result of Chopin additions to the base texts to EE (cf. bars 17-18) or Fontana's oversight. The additions were introduced by Chopin most probably in the proofreading of FE, they were also repeated in EE2 (→EE3).
