d-a-c1 in CLI (interpretation)

c-a-b in Ap

d-a-b in FE (→GE,EE) 

In the sources there are three enharmonically different forms of this chord. Two of them are inaccurately written: in CLI there are no flats lowering d to d and a to a and in FE there is no  lowering d to d (which was corrected both in GE and EE). In the main text we give the notation adopted by Chopin in the version for publication. Cf. bar 22.
