f1 & e1 in FE (→GE,EE)

f1 & f1 proposed by the editors

The change of the inner note in the 4th chord in bar 7 from e1 written in A to ffeatured in FE (→GE,EE) is most probably a result of Chopin's correction. The composer could have striven for a smoother combination of this chord with the next one, without a progression of parallel fifths. According to us, the correction intentionally concerns also two repetitions of this place, in bars 15 and 39 (Chopin omitted one of a few similar places at the time of proofreading on a number of occasions, e.g., in the Etude in G major, No. 5, bar 4).
