Turn above an X symbol in Chopin’s prelude in E minor
I am a self-taught pianist and thought I would pick this piece up relatively easily and quickly, but being self-taught I often run into unknown signs, symbols, and other things like that, that give me trouble. I believe I know the sideways S to be a turn, but it is placed above an X-like symbol and this leaves me confused. Any help would be appreciated.

the x stands for a double sharp (instead of ##)

Turn: (look example 4 of the picture below)

now the ornament (turn) behind the quarter above the x - look at the fingering - will be played at the second eight of the note A and 4312 means that you play after A# an eight note length

the the turn B-A?-Gx-A?

fingerings:

4=B

3=A#

1=Gx or G## which is the same key as A

2=A#
