Fingering in EE

The finger replacement on d presented in EE reflects rather Fontana's than Chopin's preferences – the slurring suggests a hand transfer and not a finger replacement delaying the target, wide hand position. Cf. the authentic fingering of a similar figure in bar 38.

The additions in both copies certainly mark the same fingering. In the main text, we suggest the digits written by Chopin's hand in FES, defining this fingering in an efficient manner by indicating the moments of hand position changes.

The fingering in FEH, indicating the use of the 1st finger on the black key for achieving a hand position enabling a comfortable performance of the tenth, is confirmed by the entry in FES in an analogous situation in bar 36.
