  b. 284-285

a & A in FE0

e & A1 in FE1 & FEG (→GE)

e & A1 in FED (L.H.)

a & octave in EE

Chopin changed the original version of FE0 to a more virtuoso one and with fuller sound in FEG (→GE) and FE. The different version of EE is most probably authentic as well, while the enhancement and expansion of the sound (with respect to the original version) was reached by the undoubtedly easier pianistic grip. In the main text we give the version of two editions, FE and GE, confirmed somehow by the entry in FED indicating to take over e by the L.H. (cf. bars 283-284).
