Lines indicating precisely the rhythm of a group of small notes in FES

No indication of synchronisation of both hands in the remaining sources

..

In A Chopin placed the small quavers more or less in the middle between the g flat3 crotchet and the c2 semiquaver,  not taking particular care to position that group in any relation to the semiquavers in the left hand. That notation was basically copied in the editions, yet in  GE, and especially in FE the group was clearly moved towards the beginning of the bar, which could in itself suggest a faulty interpretation.

The fingering in FES

No teaching fingering provided

..

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.
