e1 in chord in A

No e1 in FE (→GE,EE)

The lack of e1 in the 2nd L.H. chord is most probably due to difficulties in reading A. In Chopin's autographs, internal chord notes placed on ledger lines are often barely visible. This leads to their presence (or lack of) being hard or even impossible to ascertain. Cf. e.g. Etudes in G Op. 10 No 5, bar 15 or in A Op. 10 No 10, bars 76-77.

Chord with c1 in A

No c1 in chord in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Lack of c1 in the 5th chord is most probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE). Although in FE there are visible traces of corrections in this chord, yet the a note was deleted, probably printed by mistake instead of f. In the main text we give the unequivocal version of A, compliant with analogous bar 48.
