Small notes in CDP, GE1 & EE

Small notes in bar 17 in AI & A

"Big" notes in FE & GE1a (→GE2GE3)

The sources differ in the size of note heads of the third semiquaver in each of the groups. In the main text, we give the version of FE, confirmed by Chopin proofreading of GE1a (→GE2GE3). The heads of normal size ("big") signalise here the appearance of an additional melodic line in the tenor voice. In the remaining sources, the voice is not distinguished (EE) or it appears only at the beginning of bar 18 (AI and A).
