E in FC (→GE), FE & EE2 (→EE3)

f in EE1

Although Chopin at a certain stage – while correcting the base text to EE – most probably considered the version with f to be better, in the main text we leave the version with E, present in FE and FC (→GE). The version was introduced – most probably on the basis of FE – also in EE2 (→EE3).
