Fingering written into FEFo

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

In the main text we include the fingering digit written probably by Chopin into FEFo. Fontana's fingering is undoubtedly compliant with this annotation. It does not influence the evaluation of its authenticity – according to us, the likelihood that Fontana had any authentic source concerning this issue at his disposal is marginal.

Fontana's fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED

..

In EE, indicating a fingering digit only on the last note of the bar suggests that it is the previous scheme that applies to the previous ones, which results in the 3rd finger on f2. In spite of the apparent concurrence, Fontana's fingering does not have to be fully compliant with the fingering of FED, written most probably during lessons with Chopin.
