The authenticity of the fingering added in this bar seems very problematic. Both the choice of the notes provided with digits and the fingering are questionable:
- it is unclear why the indications appear only just here and why (despite the fact that the first group of digits does not define any pattern that could be continued) the fingering was abandoned and then resumed in a place that stands out only due to the fact that the second out of the notes provided with a digit is written with an error (no
); - b. 17 and 73-74 of the Etude in C minor, Op. 10 No. 12 contain a L.H. figuration symmetrical to the discussed part of the roulade. The Chopinesque fingering that can be found there could be therefore used in b. 58 of the Variations:
As one can see, it is fundamentally different from the one provided in GE2.
Taking into account the above reservations and the incompliance of the fingering of GE2 with the Chopinesque one also in other situations (cf. b. 55-56), in the main text we do not include this fingering.
