b. 89

composition: Op. 30 No. 4, Mazurka in C# minor

No c1 in chords in FC (→GE)

Chords with c1 in FE (→EE)
..

A comparison with analogous bar 73 suggests that the version of FC (→GE) is erroneous. It is likely that Fontana did not notice both c1 notes in the chords due to inaccurate notation – in Chopin's autographs, it can sometimes be difficult to determine the presence of notes on ledger lines in the middle of chords. A correction to FC (in print or of the basis) cannot be ruled out either.
