In the places where FEH and EE give fingering for the same notes, the indications are totally compliant, which results from the consistent use of the 1st finger on a white and 2nd finger on a black key on the 1st note of each group of semiquavers. However, according to us, it does not mean that the fingering is identical, since Fontana copies the fingers 3-4 for the middle semiquavers of each group, whereas in FEH, the notes are devoid of indications (with one exception), which suggests the use of subsequent fingers, hence 2-3 after the 1st finger and 3-4 after the 2nd one. This conclusion is confirmed by the aforementioned exception – the 4th finger on a
in bar 323 naturally stems from the 2nd finger marked on the initial c1; indicating it in this place most probably means that it was another finger that played the 3rd semiquaver of the group, i.e. the 3rd one.
