A in CDP

A1 in AI, A (→GE), FE & EE

The version of CDP is probably erroneous (the copyist could have looked at bar 10 in A), as the A1 note is already present in AI and it is highly unlikely that Chopin would have then returned to the probably original version with A – cf. bar 1. However, if CDP is a copy of another, lost autograph, allegedly intended for gift, it cannot be excluded that the version was written there by Chopin.
