Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

An identical fingering of EE and FEH almost certainly corresponds to the Chopinesque one – cf. the Etude in A minor, op. 25 no. 11, bar 9, which Chopin provided with a fingering that should be used also in the next, similarly structured passages, in particular in bars 11-12. However, taking into account the repeatability of the four-note figures of the passage, it seems to be highly unlikely that Chopin would have indicated the fingering in such a detailed manner as it was written both in EE and FEH. In the main text, we give the most likely interpretation of the Chopinesque entry in FED – two ones, determining the key moments of the change of hand position. The latter was perhaps supposed to be, also or only, an erasure of the prematurely printed 8 ​​​​​​​of the octave sign. The resulting fingering most probably corresponds to the indications in EE and FEH
