  b. 72-73

No tie to d2 in A & EE2

d2 tied in FE (→GE) & EE3 (→EE4)

Lack of the tie sustaining d2 in A is most probably Chopin's oversight. The tie was added in a proofreading of FE (inaccurately – the tie in bar 72 at the end of the line was omitted), it is also included in GE. The hold of this note is also indicated by the fingering added by Chopin in FED. In EE2 the tie was overlooked, which was corrected in EE3 (→EE4).
