Fingering in FC (→GE)

No fingering in FE

Fingering in EE

Our suggestion

Lack of fingering in the L.H. in FE may mean that it was added by Chopin in FC and base text to EE. Moreover, it cannot be excluded that some of the digits were already in [A], yet they were either overlooked or misunderstood by the engraver of FE (cf. bar 46). In the main text, we give all digits appearing in the sources, as their authenticity, independently from the differences between the sources (and alleged causes of these differences), does not raise major doubts (cf. the Etude in Cminor, No. 7, bars 4-5).
