In the ending of the phrase, starting from the last semiquaver in b. 16, FEJ and FES present completely different fingering versions. The only point in common, the 5th finger on D in b. 17, allows us to consider the fingering used before and after independently – e.g. the 1st finger can be used only just on A, as it is done in FES, but end with the 3rd finger on F
, which was indicated in FEJ. In turn, the 3rd finger written in FEJ at the beginning of b. 18 does not combine with the second, with which the previous F note was marked in FES. In the FES itself, the minim G in bar 18 is not marked with fingering – the sign below it do not form a digit in our opinion – so both notes in b. 18 were possibly to be performed with the 1st finger, clearly separating the phrases, in accordance with the slurring. It cannot be ruled out that one of the lines written there underlines such a separation.
