  b. 422-423

e3 in A (literal reading→GE1FE1)

e3 in A (contextual interpretation), FE2 (→EE) & GE2

When interpreted literally, the version of A (→GE1FE1) is certainly erroneous, although both bars are written in the same way for the second time (bars 462-463). It is proved by the B-g-d1-fchord (and not -e1) in the orchestra, played from the beginning of bar 422, and above all by the flats lowering e3 to e3, which were added in both bars in the proofreading of FE2 (→EE), almost certainly by Chopin. Flats were added also in GE2.
