No fingering in A (→FE,FC→GE)

Fingering in EE

The sequences of dyads in the L.H., and further also in the R.H., were provided with a detailed fingering in EE. However, nothing indicates that it could be authentic.

In the main text we include the fingering entered most probably by Chopin into FES. In addition to digits, there is also a mark implying that the e1 note should be performed by the R.H., which the notation of FE completely ignores, since the note was moved to the bottom stave. An analogous hint, in the form of an additional quaver flag pointing upwards, is also in FEJ. In the main text, in which we keep the original division of the text between the staves, we do not include those annotations, since they are superfluous.
See the previous note.
