Slur from quaver in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

Slur from semiquavers in GE3
..

A later start of the slur in GE3, although seemingly justified, is probably contrary to Chopin's final intention. The traces visible in FE prove that the four-bar slur starting from the 1st quaver resulted from proofreading – originally, these bars were provided with shorter slurs, out of which the first one, encompassing bar 496 only, most probably started after the 1st quaver. See also bars 500-503.

Fingering written into FED

Fingering written into FEH

No fingering in FE (→GE)

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In the main text, we give the fingering of FED, written probably by Chopin. A different fingering, written twice in FEH (here and in bars 502-503), may also come from lessons with Chopin. In EE, Fontana gives still another fingering, whose authenticity seems to be questionable, since the key place (e​​​​​​​ in the last triplet) features the 4th finger, much less convenient than the first one indicated in FED.
