No fingering in A (→FE,FCGE)

Fingering in EE

Fingering written into FED

Our variant suggestion

The fingering digit written in FED most probably comes from Chopin. However, nothing suggests that the different fingering given in EE could have come from him. On the other hand, this is the fingering that was indicated – most probably by Chopin – in FES in a pianistically identical passage in b. 35. Therefore, it seems that the reviser of EE guessed one of the possible Chopinesque fingering versions here. In the main text we suggest a variant solution, including both most probably Chopinesque fingering versions – the one indicated here in FED and in b. 35 in FES.
