A comparison with the five bars, which had already occurred, containing a similar procedure proves the mistake of GE1 (→GE2), corrected in GE3.

FE feature an erroneous e as the 6th semiquaver – cf. bar 292. The mistake was corrected in the remaining editions and in FEH.

b. 317

d4 in FE (→EE)

b3 in GE
..

The version of GE is most probably a mistake, although, just like in the case of the majority of Terzverschreibung errors, it is possible to accept the sound result. Admittedly, the bar does not repeat the previous harmonic scheme, yet the melodic analogy remains clear, and changing the final interval would distort, for no apparent reason, the octave line implemented from bar 315: .

The version of FE, although generally possible, is most probably a mistake – cf. bar 3. It was considered a Terzverschreibung error already in EE.

e1 in AsI

g1 in A (→GE→FE,EE)
..

We consider the version of A (→GE→FE,EE) with g1 as the last semiquaver in the bar to be Chopin's mistake. There are neither musical nor pianistic reasons to modify the scheme of a passage based on repetition of a model six-semiquaver figure in various octaves (cf. analogous figurations in bars 323 and 326), particularly in the third out of four (or even five) repeated figures. Therefore, in the main text we give e1, which is present in AsI.
