f1 in EF & PE

On the 4th quaver of the bar, JC has the a1 note, similarly as on the second. It is almost certainly a mistake, perhaps of Chopin himself committed in [AI]. Such a type of errors belongs to the most often both in autographs and copies.

In a proofreading of GE (→FE→EE) Chopin removed the second out of four small semiquavers written in A, most probably, however, it was an erroneously engraved a1. In spite of the fact that Chopin's intention of removing the correct note (f1) was not explicitly expressed in this situation, a reduced number of notes in this ornament remains a fact. Due to this reason, in the main text we give the version of the editions.
