The fingerings entered into FED in this bar and in analogous bar 32 are generally consistent with the fingering entered into those bars in FEH – the only difference concerns c category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

Initially, FEH copied the 4th finger for the 1st semiquaver in bar 124, which was then changed to the 5th one, which distinguished that fingering from the one given by Fontana in EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

The fingering of FED represents a characteristic Chopinesque ploy, i.e. passing the 4th finger over the 5th – cf. e.g. the 1st mov. of the Concerto, bar 293 or the Etude in A Minor, Op. 10 No. 2, bars 20-22. It puts into question – although it does not exclude it entirely – the authenticity of the differing fingering of FEH and EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |

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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Differences in fingering , Annotations in FEH |
