The missing  must be Chopin's oversight – in two previous bars, d notes are featured on several occasions as elements of chords and belong to the F​​​​​​​ minor key, consolidated in the discussed bar. Oversights of accidentals are very frequent in Chopin's oeuvre in such a context. The version with d3 is also supported by analogy with bar 379. Chopin added a  in FED; however, it was only just in GE3 that it was added in print.

We include the fingering of FEH in the main text, written probably by Chopin and confirmed by the Chopinesque entry in FED. In EE, Fontana gives the same fingering.

The detailed fingering of FEH is almost certainly identical with the one Chopin meant while marking the position of the 1st finger in FED.
