  b. 7

f1-a1 in CLI (interpretation)

d1-a1 in Ap

f1-b1 in FE (→GE,EE) 

In the main text we give b1, which Chopin introduced instead of previous a1 while still preparing the base text for FE (→GE,EE), as the topmost note of the chord. The inner note of the chord reveals Chopin's hesitation between f1 in CLI and FE (→GE,EE) and d1 in Ap.
