b. 6-7

		Fingering written into FEJ, probable reading
		Fingering written into FES
		No fingering in A (→FE,FC→GE)
		Fingering in EE

In FEJ the mark referring to the e¹ crotchet is illegible. According to us, it may be a fingering digit (2), written instead of a 'one' – it would then be the same notation that can clearly be seen in FES. The 1st finger on e¹ in b. 6 visible in EE most probably also indicates that fingering.
