f1 in A (→FE→EE) & FC (probable reading)

f1-g1 in GE
..

The version of GE resulted from an erroneous interpretation of the illegible correction concerning the pitch of this note in FC – the copyist most probably first wrote g1 and then turned it into f1, as a result of which both the 2nd line and the 1st space are covered. A correction (crossing-out) is also visible in A, in which, however, it almost certainly concerned rhythm – Chopin pondered whether to write the discussed note as a minim.

The pencilled correction of the wrong clef (bass) visible in FC at the beginning of the bar – it opens the line in this manuscript – as well as a possible crossing-out of one of the notes (rather the bottom one, hence f1) on the 2nd L.H. quaver were performed by a later owner of FC, i.e. Hermann Scholtz.

No fingering in A (→FE,FC→GE)

Fingering in EE
..

Nothing suggests that the fingering in EE could have come from Chopin, although in this case it is presumably consistent with Chopin's idea, as it employs the pattern indicated by Chopin in FED in earlier similar figures.
