Chopin's fingering chosen by the editors

..

It is difficult to assign the digits written in FES to a natural fingering. The most likely explanation is that Miss Stirling committed a mistake at the time of writing them in ink on the basis of the Chopinesque indications written in pencil. Taking into account the fingering in the 1st half of the bar, one could suggest two possibilities: the '3' was supposed to be written under the '5' and not after it or the '3' was written by mistake instead of a '4'. We suggest only the second possibility as an acceptable variant, since it is totally compatible with the fingering from the 1st half of the bar. In the main text, we include only the first of the digits written in FES – its authenticity does not raise any doubts; moreover, together with the previous digits, it clarifies the fingering on the 3rd beat of the bar.
As an alternative, one could adopt the fingering written in FEH, which may have come from Chopin.

In FE, there are no accidentals before the 4th semiquaver in the R.H. and the bottom note of the 3rd quaver in the L.H. Oversights of the symbols of the current key, typical of Chopin, were corrected both in GE and EE. A sharp in the L.H. was added also in FEH and FES. In the latter, cautionary double sharps before fon the 2nd and 4th beats of the bar were also added.

In the main text, we give the fingering written by Chopin in FES. The entry in FED most probably indicates the same fingering, specifying its most characteristic fragment.
