  b. 281

a1 in FE0 (→FE1,FEGGE)

a1-c2 in EE

Our variant suggestion

Both source versions of the 4th quaver may be authentic, yet each of them may be erroneous:

  • the version of FE and GE with single a1 may be a result of an error of the engraver of FE, noticed by Chopin only at the time of preparing the base text to EE;
  • the version of EE with the a1-c2 third may be a mistake of the engraver (the thirds on the 4th quaver of the bar are present both in the previous bars and in the next one, cf. bar 284) or a revision on the basis of the analogy with the next bar.

According to us, there are a few more arguments for a single note in this place, yet they are not conclusive. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
