On the 2nd and 3rd crotchet FE and GE1 have empty a-efifths. It is undoubtedly an omission of the engraver of FE – cf. analogous bars 30 and 202 – it could have been caused by the unclear notation of [A]. Chopin probably added the chords in the base text to EE. The corrected version, probably on the basis of a comparison with the mentioned bars, was introduced also in GE2 (→GE3).

There is no con the 2nd crotchet in FE0, probably due to a misinterpretation of the autograph. Chopin added this note in FEG (→GE) and in the base texts to FE and EE
