The fingering in FES

The sequence of numbers of the fingering written into FES of the augmented unison a flat2-a2 may suggest the use of the 4th finger for a flat2, and the 2nd for a2. As Chopin undoubtedly had in mind the natural position of the hand, we match the fingering to the graphic layout of the notes.
