composition: Op. 49, Fantaisie in F minor

a-c1 in A (→GE) & FE2 (→EE)

f-a in FE1
..

The FE1 version must be erroneous, which is proven by the unfounded  to the bottom note of the R.H. bottom voice third, f – the engraver (or perhaps already Fontana in [FC]) repeated here an accidental standing next to the right (bottom) note of the correct text, which is a, requiring a . The fact that the erroneous FE1 version also includes a  to a clearly demonstrates that Chopin was not the only participant in the process of proofreading FE1 – a reviser was present as well. It seems highly unlikely that Chopin noticed the missing  and did not realise that the entire third was misplaced. The correct text was introduced in FE2 (→EE), in this case most probably at Chopin's request.

In FE1 (→EE1) the 3rd L.H. crotchet is a C instead of B1. The mistake was corrected in FE2 and EE2.

Dotted quaver in FE (→EE)
..

The dotted quaver instead of a quaver with a rest is almost certainly a mistake by the copyist in [FC] or by the engraver of FE. A possible correction by Chopin seems highly unlikely in this context.
