The quite illegible entry in FEH is probably a fingering digit. The bottom horizontal dash could have been added separately; it would be then a tenuto mark, sometimes used by Chopin – cf. bar 47. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources |

The digit, marking the hand position, written in FES most probably defines the same fingering that was described in FEH in more detail. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEH |

According to us, the fingering given in EE by Fontana does not come from Chopin. Changing the fingering of the same key arrangement at its repetition an octave higher does not seem to be necessary in this case, although it is naturally possible. A tendency to avoid wider gaps between the 1st and 2nd finger may be observed also in the fingering suggested by Fontana in the Etude in C major, op. 10, no. 1, e.g. in bar 3. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

The fingering added in EE by Fontana is adjusted to the probably erroneous version of the 6th semiquaver of the bar (although its application in the version adopted in the main text is naturally possible). This fact most probably proves that it is totally arbitrary. The fingering of both sources, compliant in the ascending part of the passage, suggests changing the hand position marked by the placement of the 1st finger, which was on the a1 note in the previous passage. However, the Chopinesque fingering added to FES in the 2nd half of the bar, where the 1st finger is also on a1, suggests that Chopin meant to preserve this position also in the discussed passage, filling the 1st half of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |
2 note at the beginning of the 2nd half of the bar – see the previous note.
