f2 in chord in A, GE & EE

g2 in chord in FE

The chord in FE – with g2 – may be a result of Chopin's correction introduced in the last phase of proofreading of FE. This would explain the presence of a chord with f2 in GE but not in EE in which either a mistake (?) was committed or a revision was performed. In addition, it cannot be excluded that the revision was implemented both in EE and GE, which seems to be indicated by certain traces suggesting moving the natural before this chord. If this was the case, the version of FE could have been not a result of Chopin's proofreading, yet a simply unnoticed error of the engraver. In the main text we give the undoubtedly authentic text of A, GE and EE. However, we consider the version of FE to be equal, as it could have been an expression of Chopin's final decision.
