Dyads in FE (→EE)

Triad and dyad in GE

The original version of A was changed by Chopin in the proofreading of FE1 (→EE), which, as the composer's latest decision, we include in the main text. GE included only the change in bar 14, which can point to a two-stage proofreading of FE1 – deletion of b on the 6th quaver in bar 13 could have been introduced in the last phase of proofreading, already after having sent the copy to the German editor. According to us, it is, however, more likely that GE arbitrarily added this note by analogy to bar 14, which, except for this detail, does not differ from bar 13 at all. Similarly in all repetitions of these bars – bars 61-62, 117-118 and 165-166.
