  b. 132

e1 in A (→FE1,EE,GC→GE)

e1 in FE2 (→FE3)

It is also in this bar that we give the unambiguous version of A (→EE,GC→GE) in the main text, in spite of the fact that while proofreading FE2 (→FE3), Chopin added a  lowering e1 to e1. This version must be considered as authentic, yet not necessarily final – the composer, not seeing the following text in this line, could have heard here a harmonic progression analogous to the one in bars 101 and 126, therefore, in the previous phase of the phrase's development.

See b. 126
