  b. 94

a in A (probable reading) & FE2 (→EE)

b in A (possible reading→FE1→GE)

It is difficult to clearly state whether in A the last chord in the R.H. includes an element placed on the bottom stave and if it does, which one it is. According to us, a bolder stem next to a possible note is not a deletion, yet blurred ink. Due to the fact that it faces up, the blurred note was probably an a. FE1 printed here b, only the proofreading of FE2 indicated that Chopin thought about a, same as in bar 84. However, the erroneous version of FE1 was adopted in all GE.
