composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

Triad in A (→FE,GC→GE)

In A the inner note of the last chord in the L.H. is barely visible, therefore, in EE it was omitted.
In GC a four-note chord with d was originally written at this place. This indicates that the copyist mistakenly wrote the chord from bar 195.
