Fingering in FE

Fingering writteninto FED

Chopin added the fingering of the bottom voice most probably at the time of proofreading FE (also in bars 28 and 29). What draws attention is the fact that the composer considered the fingering of the top voice to be obvious – cf. the Etude in Gminor, No. 6, bars 14-15. The entry in FED proves that what was obvious to Chopin was not that obvious even for such a talented pupil as Miss O'Meara.
