The first finger indicated for the d bass quaver seems to be highly questionable, since it would be the only known example of such an unnatural fingering having been written down. The use of the 5th finger of the L.H. for the bottommost note was considered obvious and rarely marked. In particular situations, Chopin instructed his pupils to perform even a few subsequent notes with the 5th finger – see the Nocturne in C Minor, Op. 27 No. 1, bars 13-14 or the Sonata in B​​​​​​​ Minor, Op. 35, 3rd mov., bar 31.
