Some of the marks entered into FED pose interpretive challenges:
- There is a poorly visible mark over the b
1 quaver. According to us, it represents two digits, most probably a one replaced with a two. - The middle one from the group of 3 small quavers is provided with a 1 both over and under the note. Allegedly, the bottom digit was entered by Chopin and then repeated by the pupil in the sequence of the remaining digits.
- The digit over the last of the three small notes was being changed in FED; however, it is the shape of a two that is most distinct among the few overlapping lines. Such an interpretation is confirmed by the entry in FES.
