It is difficult to decipher the first of the two digits describing the change of fingers on the c2 minim in FES. At the first glance, it seems to be a three, which, however, cannot be obviously combined with the 2nd finger on a
1 in b. 1. A close look reveals that the topmost part of the mark is vaguer, which suggests that it was written with a separate move. Therefore, a possible interpretation of that digit could be a five. It is also likely that it does not form a part of the mark at all, since it could be merely a trace of the pencil's move before the very act of writing. Such traces can occur when the writing person is in an inconvenient position, e.g. standing in front of a score placed on the music desk. In turn, the more distinct part of the entry resembles a four. The second and third interpretations result in pianistically natural solutions, i.e. the change of fingers from 5 to 1 or 4 to 1.
