We give the text of A as our main text. The absence of the tied octave f2-f3 in GE1 (→FE→EE) is most probably a mistake, which is in a sense confirmed by the reintroduction of the ties in GE2 (→GE3). However, a puzzling fact is the omission of that place in the proofing of FE, and particularly lack of that correction in FED, in which Chopin added a natural in bar 10 and a fingering numeral in bar 11. This may testify to the acceptance by the composer of the version of striking the entire chord at the beginning of bar 11.
