  b. 3

G in JC

G1-G in EF

B1-B in PE

Using a chord without third at the beginning of the bar, as it is both in JC and in EF, raises doubts as to the correctness of Chopin's notation reading in [AI]. However, even if that version was intended by Chopin in any stage, later it was replaced by the musically smoother version of PE.
