In the main text we give the A version (→GE), analogous to the version in bar 168. The FE version could be considered a Terzverschreibung mistake if it were not for the fact that it is musically reasonable and could have been introduced by Chopin into [FC] or while proofreading FE1. Such swinging motion of the figuration topmost notes can often be seen in Chopin's pieces, cf., e.g. the Variations in B
, Op. 12, bars 192-195, Bolero, Op. 19, bars 155-167, Sonata in B minor, Op. 58, I mov., bars 41-47. Therefore, this version can be considered an equal variant.
