Fontana's fingering in EE |
The fingering written in FEH reveals at least two writing persons:
- the majority of the digits are considerably left slanted, written in pencil, with a quite fine line;
- a few, generally smaller and written with a thicker line, bear a likeness to Chopin's handwriting.
In the main text, we include the entries from the second group, particularly when they combine well with the fingering of FED or FEFo, whose authenticity generally does not need to be questioned.
According to those general criteria, in the discussed bar, it is only the one over the last semiquaver of the quintuplet that can be considered Chopinesque. For all that, all sources indicate the use of the 1st finger on the e notes (all or some of them), which almost certainly denotes the same fingering.
