  b. 41-42

d tied in GC (→GE) & EE2

d repeated in FE (→EE1)

Our variant suggestion

It is hard to determine which was Chopin's final intention, as far as the sustention of d is concerned. The tie in GC could have been added by Chopin, yet it is also likely that it was in [A] but it was overlooked by the engraver of FE (→EE1). On the other hand, Chopin did not add it either in the proofreadings of FE3 and FE4 or in any of the pupil's copies. Due to the above reasons, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.

See b. 41
