It is interesting that Chopin gave the 5th finger (cf. bar 109) in the ascending passage with an identical interval structure and a similar arrangement of white and black keys. It seems that he considered the second fingering to be more universal in this kind of positions – in the 2nd mov., in bar 31 the fingering 1-5 is copied on the same notes (g2-f2), although in this case there is no choice, since one has to play 5 notes in one position.

The teaching fingering may demonstrate that Chopin considered marking the 4th finger in bar 97 to be enough – passing the 4th finger over the fifth and then sliding the 1st finger from the black key to the white one – which was not so obvious to other pianists.
