F-G-F in FE & EE, contextual interpretation of FC

A-G-F in GE1

A-G-F in GE2 (→GE3)

The third quaver in FC is incomplete and, hence, illegible. One can see there traces of an unfinished correction – the note head of the A note was deleted, most probably together with the  placed in front of it (which gives A), however, there is no note written instead of the deleted one. GE1 decided to print in this place A; in this version the 5th quaver, devoid of the accidental, is an F. In turn, the reviser of GE2 (→GE3) added a  in front of it, raising it to F. None of these versions can be authentic, which is confirmed by the compatible text of FE and EE with F on the third, and as a consequence, 5th quaver. According to us, it is most probably this version that was the only one written by Chopin and if it had not been for the so-called Terzverschreibung error committed by the copyist, it would have been included also in FC.
