Hi Jorge, as far as I know, Mathias is right. There are even in later mss only few hints that the ringfinger was used at all - but there are only few RH fingerings at all. Although I think that Falkenhagen etc. were using the ringfinger, there are to my knowledge no direct RH fingerings at all. Weiss seems to have used it at least in some ending arpeggios, but if he did use it more regularily isn´t clear at all.
