The traces visible in FE prove that e1 was removed from the 1st quaver of the bar at the time of proofreading. There are no doubts that this kind of change could have been introduced only by Chopin. Thanks to this change the effect of withering echo – bars 65 and 66 are a simplified harmonic repetition of bar 64 – becomes clearer.
