Triad g1-b1-d2 in FE

Fifth g1-d2 in GE & EE

Neither GE nor EE include b1, which means that it was almost certainly added by Chopin in the last stage of proofreading FE – after the copies serving as the bases for GE and EE had been sent. It was most probably a correction in the strict sense – the omission of this note was just a mistake.
