b. 179-184

Both Fontana in EE and the reviser in GE3 suggest in bar 179 the same fingering that was written in FED during a lesson with Chopin. The indications in FEH (in bars 179-180 and 184), much more detailed, also describe the same fingering (in bar 179, the digit applying to the a quaver is almost certainly erroneous – it should be a '3' as in the analogous bar 534, and not a '2'). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , GE revisions , Annotations in FEH |

The natural fingering indicated by Fontana probably corresponds to Chopin's intention; however, it does not prove that Fontana based his indication on an authentic source. The entry in FEH most probably marks the same fingering. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH |

Fontana indicated the 4th finger on the 4th b semiquaver three times – in bars 181, 182 and 185. In the same place in bars 181 and 185, in FEH, the 3rd finger was marked (see also notes to bars 536-537 and 540). A possible authenticity of these divergent indications is uncertain. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

The digit written over the d2 grace note in FEH does not determine the fingering of the 2nd beat of bar 182, so it is difficult to state whether the writing person (we do not think it was Chopin) envisioned there the fingering indicated by Fontana in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FEH |

Like the last digit in bar 141, the '2' written in FEH may be considered to be Chopinesque, hence we include it in the main text. It implies a different fingering than the one given by Fontana in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |
