Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

The Chopinesque fingering given in the editions may be completed in bar 426 in two basic ways: by applying a double change of hand position (1st finger on the 2nd semiquaver of each of the four-note groups, f1 and b1) or by passing the 1st finger under on b1 at the end of the 2nd beat of the bar. If Chopin had meant the first possibility, he would have probably indicated the first change of position, particularly since the 1st finger would then fall on a black key (f​​​​​​​1). The second possibility was indicated both in EE and FEH, probably by Chopin's hand, which seems to confirm its authenticity in this situation.
