The teaching copies contain two undoubtedly different fingerings for this fragment. One is taken from #WfJ and #WfS, the other is a combination of Chopin's annotations in #WfD in this bar and in bar 16 when this figuration is repeated. In the main text we juxtapose these partly alternative fingerings. Cf. fingering in Sonata in B minor Op. 35, 3rd mvt., bar 31.
