3 fingering digits in AsI

4 fingering digits in A

3 digits in GE (→EE,FE1FE2)

No fingering in FESB

This note concerns the 4 fingering digits at the end of bar 313 and on the 1st beat of bar 314, whose interpretation in the principal sources does not raise any difficulties – excluding the digit over the 1st semiquaver in bar 314, which we discuss separately.
In AsI the fingering starts from the beginning of bar 314, whereby the first 2 digits were crossed out. The digits over e2 and d2 were altered and are poorly legible; however, Chopin most probably opted for 4-5, as it is in the remaining sources.
The missing '1' digit in the sources could have been caused by its smaller size in A, as a result of which it looks like an insignificant spot. The fact that FESB does not include any fingering digit in the R.H. most probably resulted from the engraver's inattention.
