Chord with c2 in GC & FE1 (→FE2EE1)

Chord with c2 in GE, FE3 (→FE4) & EE2

The chord with c2, although completely possible from the harmonic point of view, is, however, most probably a result of Chopin's mistake, as the d-f-a-c (a-c-e-g) diminished four-note-chord introduces the B minor key, which Chopin indicated with an enharmonic change in the previous bar. In this context, an omission of a  is highly likely – cf. the note in bar 56. The natural added – probably by Chopin – in FE3 (→FE4) is, therefore, probably a correction of a mistake.
