  b. 39

a in GC (→GE) & FE1 (→FE2→FE3,EE)

b in FE4

In the main text we give the version of FE4, being probably a result of Chopin's proofreading. Both source versions are equally justified with the voice leading:

  • b in FE4, together with the bottom notes of the adjacent chords of the R.H., creates a d1-c1-b-a line;
  • a in the remaining sources is a common note of four chords preparing the entrance of the second theme in bar 41.

See b. 41
