FEH includes here two diagonal crosses – characteristic marks of Chopinesque teaching. Each time, their meaning remains in the sphere of more or less justified speculation.

In the main text, we include the entry in FED, whose authenticity is highly likely. The same digit – along a few more – is given also by FEH; in turn, EE has a different fingering in this part of the passage, maintaining the hand position from the 1st half of the bar.

d1-f​​​​​​​1 tied in FE (→GE,EE)

d1-f​​​​​​​1 repeated in FEH

Our variant suggestion
..

In FEH, the ties of the d1-f1 third were crossed out. The authenticity of this variant seems to be highly likely if we take into account a number of other, almost certainly Chopinesque, variants entered into that copy. The manner the marks were crossed out resembles the Chopinesque one – cf. e.g. crossings-out in the pupil's copy of the Nocturne in D​​​​​​​ Major, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 45. In the main text, we signalise the possibility of omitting the ties with brackets.

Fontana's fingering in EE
..

In the main text, we give the fingering of FED, which comes from Chopin. A similar hand position is suggested by Fontana in EE. In turn, the entry of FEH defines a different combination, much less convenient (it may be a mistake).
