Fingering written into FED

No teaching fingering
..

The fingering digit over the last semiquaver was changed in FED – one can see there both '2' and '1'. At the same time, it is unclear which of them is to be considered final, hence in the main text we give a variant solution with both possibilities.

No indication in A (→GE→FE→EE)

cresc. written into FED, probable reading

dim. written into FED, possible reading

Our variant suggestion
..

The not too legible entry in FED is most probably a dynamic marking with a determined range of validity. According to us, it is probably cresc., yet dim. also seems to be possible.

In A a  before the bottom note of the octave in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar is missing, as well as before the 3rd semiquaver in the R.H. in the 2nd half of the bar (d1). In turn, Chopin repeated a  before B, the 2nd semiquaver in the L.H. In GE1 (→FE) only the missing  before the octave was added, while in EE and GE2 – both necessary naturals. Moreover, EE3 added a cautionary  before b in the L.H. in the 3rd group of semiquavers; the sign was also added in FED. In the main text we add two necessary naturals and we remove the superfluous sign before the 2nd semiquaver in the L.H.

..

In A (→GE) a  is missing before the 8th semiquaver in the L.H. (d1). In turn, Chopin repeated a  before b1 in the L.H. at the end of the bar. FE removed the second sign, yet did not add the first one. EE includes the fully correct notation.
