The change introduced in GE3 is surprising due to the extent of misunderstanding of the harmony in this place, particularly if one takes into account the fact that it was introduced already in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the reviser of GE should have already known at least a few Chopin's pieces, in which a chord of a similar structure was used (g-f-a-c-e), as for example the Scherzo in B minor, Op. 20, bars 594-599, the Nocturne in F minor, Op. 55 No. 1, bars 22-23 and in B major, Op. 62 No. 1, bar 18, Polonaise-Fantaisie, Op. 61, bar 145, Barcarolle, Op. 60, bars 48-49. Chopin fingering, which completely does not fit the changed text, was also ignored. Similarly in analogous bar 56.
