d3-g3 in A (→GEFE,EE,IE)

d2-g2 suggested by the editors

According to us, the source version of the 1st R.H. quaver is Chopin's mistake. In A the discussed bar opens a new page, which most probably made it difficult for Chopin to assess the relationship between the preceding quavers and the problematic tritone. Due to the above, in the main text we provide a version modelled after the pianistically more natural version of analogous bars 126-127, in which the tritone opening the new four-bar section is within the range determined by the preceding octave.
