Crotchet A in FE (→EE1EE2)

Crotchet B in GE, EE3 & FED

..

The mistake of FE is proved by the orchestral part, in which there is a in cellos and double-basses, as well as by the Chopinesque correction in FED. The correct text was introduced in GE probably on the basis of comparison of the piano part with the orchestral parts. EE3 was revised probably on the basis of GE

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

The one written in FED between the staves may refer to f1 in the L.H. or to the g​​​​​​​1 minim in the R.H. As the digit is placed closer to the L.H., since it touches the head of the 1st semiquaver, we assign it to this note. However, both in FEH and EE, the fingering was given only or mainly for the R.H., which proves that this part was considered to be more problematic (with which one cannot argue). Therefore, the entry in FED may also apply to the R.H., i.e. indicating the position of the 1st finger on a black key.

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

The fingering entered by Chopin in FED, in spite of the fact that it applies to the first two semiquavers only, determines the position of fingers in the next figures and, consequently, also in the further part of the phrase. Therefore, this entry most probably indicates the same fingering that Fontana gave in EE and that was written in FEH (probably on the basis of a lesson with Chopin). As the fingering of the basic figures of this fragment was defined already in bar 416, in this case in the main text we include only the entry in FED

Fontana's fingering in EE

..

Both Fontana's fingering in EE and the entry in FEH (most probably performed by the pupil's hand) differ from the Chopinesque fingering indicated in FED.
