2 R.H. f notes in AsI

5 R.H. notes in A (→GE)

3 R.H. notes in FE & FESB

4 R.H. notes in EE

Our variant suggestion

A version of FE in which R.H. quavers on the 2nd beat do not include the f notes is most likely the result of Chopin's correction of its Stichvorlage, i.e. a copy of GE1. This version, which does not suggest striking these notes with both hands simultaneously, is given in the main text. A similar adjustment was made in EE, but there is no suggestion that Chopin had any influence on the text of this edition.
Noteworthy is the version of AsI, in which Chopin omitted the first quaver on the 2nd beat (similarly to FE), and also deleted the semiquavers on the 1st beat. The removal of these notes, which is a kind of development of the original idea to which Chopin eventually returned, is included in the main text in variant form.
