The mark written in FED underlines the significance of the rest and, consequently, it suggests the need to emphasise the syncopation as the beginning of a new motif of a probably different emotional nature.

In the main text, we include the change of fingers, written by Chopin in FED. The fingering of EE actually does not exclude the use of this procedure, yet it seems to be highly unlikely that Fontana would not have marked such a characteristic fingering if he had taken it into account.

The fingering, written probably by the hand of the pupil in FEH, was changed in this bar – the a-g transition was initially marked with the 2 and 3 digits. The correction could have been suggested by Chopin, which is indicated by further compliance with the entry in FED. In the main text, we include the indication of the latter, whose authenticity is unquestionable and which specifies the unobvious use of the 1st finger on a black key, crucial for a comfortable grip of the chord in the next bar.

d2 in FE (→GE1)

b2 in EE, GE2 (→GE3) & FED
..

The version with d2 as the 10th semiquaver present in FE (→GE1) is almost certainly erroneous. It is proved by the comparison with analogous bars 289 and 305-306 as well as by the correction in FED, indicated probably by Chopin. Corresponding corrections were introduced also in EE and GE2 (→GE3).
