Four notes in JC & PE

Five notes in EF

The additional f2 note in the chord in EF seems to be an arbitrary edition by Fontana, as the version without this note occurs both in JC and in PE. However, it cannot be excluded that Chopin hesitated between four- and five-note version of this chord. He could have added the note in [AI] after JC had already been completed and then resign from it, while writing [A]. In the main text we give the only or the latest authentic version, without f2. Cf. the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bars 20 and 28.
