e1 in A (→FE,EE)

f1 in GC (→GE)

In GC the topmost note in the 1st semiquaver in the R.H. was rewritten – most probably Chopin changed e1, copied from A, to f1 (Chopin added few accindentals, too). However, we have doubts whether this correction may be considered as final. A number of arguments points to Chopin's haste at the time of controlling GC – cf. bars 126 and 202-204 – hence it cannot be excluded that in the discussed place the change was also not thoroughly considered. The accents over f1 four semiquavers before and later seem to be better adjusted to the version with e1. In this situation in the main text we give exactly this version, written by Chopin in A and accepted at the time of proofreading FE
