Fontana's fingering in EE

..

The fingering given by Fontana and the one written in FEH differ significantly. Interestingly, in analogous bar 441 Fontana gave a fingering concurrent with the fingering written in FEH and not his. That convergence is rather of an accidental nature, yet the differing approach to similar figures is symptomatic.

In FE, the grace notes in the R.H. are written a third higher than it would result from the L.H. part and all similar places (bars 173, 181, 189 and analog). The mistake was corrected both in GE and EE.

Slur from semiquaver in FE

No slur in GE1 (→GE2)

Slur from quaver in EE & GE3

..

In the 1st half of the bar, FE has different slurs for the R.H. and for the L.H. We unify them in the main text by changing the slur in the L.H. after the slur in the R.H. A similar change was introduced in EE and GE3; in turn, the missing slur in the L.H. in GE1 (→GE2) is almost certainly a mistake.

Slurs in FE (→GE1GE2)

Slurs in EE

Slurs in GE3

..

In the 1st half of the bar, FE (→GE1GE2) has different slurs for the R.H. and for the L.H. We unify them in the main text by changing the slur in the L.H. after the slur in the R.H.; a similar change was introduced in EE. In GE3, the slurs were changed in the parts of both hands, assimilating the slurring of this bar to analogous bar 449. According to us, this solution, generally totally arbitrary, may be considered a justified attempt at reconstructing Chopin's intention, assuming it was inaccurately reproduced by FE (after all, it is quite likely that it was already in [A] that the slurs were being written hastily and inaccurately).
