In the main text, we give a slide of the 5th finger, characteristic of Chopin, copied in FES. Therefore, the standard fingering added by Fontana in EE is probably inauthentic in the first half of the passage. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FES |

In FES, Chopin again entered here a fingering given earlier in analogous bar 116. In FEH, the same fingering is marked, although the digits are written next to another set of notes. In accordance with the General Editorial Principles, p. 17, we do not include these indications in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FES , Annotations in FEH |

The authenticity of both differing Chopinesque fingerings is unquestionable, hence in the main text we include them in a variant form. The fingering of FED, with a shift of the 5th finger on white keys, requires a better sense of the keyboard, probably going beyond the amateur skills of Miss Stirling. It can also suggest performing the final fragment of the 1st half of the bar using "harmonic legato" – in this case, holding the d category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FES |
