The majority of the sources include two sixths: b-g1 and a-f1. In F, they were enhanced to full triads, by adding a third element. In AG, the situation is different: a leap in the descending direction to a follows the g-e1 sixth.

In AR, AE and CC, there is a g1 instead of f1.
The flat of g1 in AR and AE was written by Chopin a third lower, next to the second ledger line.
