The authenticity of the variant written in FEH seems to be highly likely (like in the case of the remaining variants in this movement of the Concerto – see e.g. bar 29 or 57). It is noteworthy that this version, although it does not strictly correspond to the orchestral part, results in a smoother combination of bars 63-64 when performed on one piano. According to us, such a subtle and dexterous consideration of the specific nature of the one-piano version's sound clearly points to Chopin being the author of this variant.

m.g. written into FEH

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

..

In FE, there are no rests in the original notation of this bar, as a result of which it is not entirely clear which hand is supposed to perform the orchestral part on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the indication assigning these crotchets to the left hand, which may have come from Chopin.

The fingering in FEH naturally complements the indication in FES, whose authenticity is unquestionable, hence we include it in the main text.
