No suggested fingering

..

We take into account the unquestionable and natural fingering written into FES. The fingering in FED is difficult to read: it was probably written two times and it is not clear whether the same digits were written twice (121), or whether they were different digits (121 and 14). Therefore we give both options as variants.

No octaves in  A (→GEFEEE)

Two octaves in FED and FEJ

Three octaves in FES

The editors' variant proposal

..

In the three teaching copies, the bass notes in  bar 59 were doubled with lower octaves. In FES the octave progression is consistently brought to the beginning of bar 60. In our opinion this means that Chopin considered the version with the octaves at least equivalent to the version of A (→GEFEEE), in which single notes appear.
