In the main text, we give the undoubtedly authentic fingering of FED. The fingering of FEH is also probably authentic, especially since it combines with the fingering of FES and FEH written before and after in a more natural way. The compliance of the fingering of FEH with the fingering of EE added by Fontana is noteworthy.

No fingering in FE (→GE)

The authenticity of the entry in FEH seems to be highly likely in the light of compliance with the fingering of FES written by Chopin. Fontana's fingering in EE defines a different hand position, being a natural continuation of the fingering written over the two previous notes in FED.

The staccato marked in EE2, although certainly added by the editor, in effect, describes well the actual way of performance.

Fingering in EE

..

The fingering of FES, given in the main text in bars 105 and 107, with slide of the 1st finger, willingly used by Chopin, was written by him in pencil and repeated ("enhanced") by Miss Stirling in ink. In this light, the differing fingering of FEH seems to be much less typical of Chopin. In EE, Fontana offers two fingering variants, the first of which overlaps with the Chopinesque fingering (FES).

Fingering in EE

..

Fontana's fingering, given in EE in a place that can be actually performed only with this fingering, most probably does not come from Chopin. Cf. bar 109.
