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).

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.

..

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.

..

In FE (→GE1), the last 8 notes are written as 2 groups of semiquavers. The division into groups suggests that Chopin meant a strict and regular division, so the notes should be demisemiquavers. A respective change was introduced in EE and GE2 (→GE3). Additional beams were added also in FEJ, although it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of such a non-characteristic entry.
