Fingering in EE

In the main text we include the fingering entered by Chopin into FES, confirmed by an equivalent entry in FED, also Chopinesque. The much more abundant fingering of EE must be inauthentic; in addition, despite its initial compliance with the Chopinesque additions, it is almost certainly different from the one envisioned by the composer (unjustified use of the fingers 4-2 a sixth apart at the end of the 1st half of b. 1).
