  b. 4

b not tied in CLI & FE (→EE2→EE3)

b tied in Ap, GE & EE4

The authenticity of the b note's hold is undoubtedly certified only in Ap (only in this bar – cf. bars 12 and 39). The ties featured in a part of the first editions are either possibly (GE) or certainly (EE3, probably under the influence of GE) a revision. Arbitrarily added, allegedly missing ties in the places in which not all components of two-note chords or chords are held with ties are to be found in first editions of Chopin's pieces on a number of occasions. To the main text we adopt the undoubtedly authentic version of FE (→EE2→EE3).
