b. 42
When interpreted literally, AI has in the last group of semiquavers two notes different than in the published version: the 2nd semiquaver a (without ) and the 4th semiquaver A. According to us, it is a result of overlapping of inaccuracies and corrections, while the text intended by Chopin does not differ from the text of the remaining sources:
- at the time of writing a Chopin most probably had a in mind and he even started writing a before this note. Instead of finishing the sign, he probably decided to change it to g, although the remade (?) note still is more similar to a/a;
- the last semiquaver is probably written inaccurately, too low.
In the main text we give the version of FE (→GE,EE), completed with the cautionary before g.
