According to us, the distinct dash visible in Atut on the right-hand side of the last chord is a fingering digit (1), referring to the d1-e1 second. Its omission in FE (→GE,EE) is probably a result of misunderstanding this mark (or a simple oversight). In the main text, we add a brace indicating the notes this digit applies to. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

The fingering of GE3, although undoubtedly reasonable, is certainly arbitrary. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

All four sources featuring the fingering most probably describe the same finger arrangement. Out of the two digits written in FEH, only the latter, according to us, can be attributed to Chopin's hand. In the main text, we give the fingering written by Chopin in FED (certainly) and FEH (probably). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FED , Annotations in FEH , Annotations in FEFo |

Fontana's fingering given in EE almost certainly does not come from Chopin, since it is difficult to assume that Fontana could have had such precise, variant indications of the composer at his disposal. The authenticity of the fingering written by a foreign hand in FEH is also questionable. The basic scheme of both fingerings, considering the first variant of the fingering of EE, are in common with each other; the difference applies only to the beginning, which deviates from the scheme in Fontana's version. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

The essential difference between the fingering of FEH and EE consists in the performance manner of the descending third in each group of semiquavers – in FEH, the fingers 2-3 were used, in EE – 2-4. It is difficult to say if and which of them corresponds to the fingering conceived by Chopin, since the authenticity of the fingering in these sources has not been confirmed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |
