The version of FE1 (→FE2→EE1) is probably the original version, as it was initially written also in GC, in which it was corrected, probably by Chopin. Interestingly, in GC also the middle crotchets in the R.H. (from f1 to e1) were corrected, which in FE, however, are printed right away in the final version. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that seeing identical chords in the L.H., the copyist considered the crotchets in the R.H. also to be identical. It is even more likely considering the fact that in the manuscrpts only the first of the three bars was written out with notes. The version with g was written also in FESch.
