Copy of FE2 from the collection of Chopin pieces belonging to his pupil Jane Stirling. Above all, FES contains numerous fingerings, mainly in the L.H. part, written both in Chopin's and Miss Stirling's hand. The change of fingers after hitting a key (b. 1, 10, 15, 19 and 23-24), used on a number of occasions, and the traces of changes of fingering, which probably prove that Chopin changed the fingering suggested by the pupil (b. 6 and 23), are particularly noteworthy. In addition, Chopin added a few dynamic indications in FES – 
and 
in b. 13, cresc. and in b. 15-16 and 
in b. 20-21 (twice). All were entered in a manner that suggests that they were being written while the pupil was playing, in the score on the music desk.
