e1 under tied a1 in A & FED (probable reading)

No e1 in GE1 (→FEEE)

e1 before repeated a1 in FED (possible reading)

e1 inside grupetto in GE2

The missing ecrotchet in the bottom voice in GE1 (→FEEE) is a patent mistake. One could even assume that the engraver of GE1 omitted this note, since the erroneous layout of the group of small notes would have impeded its reasonable placement: it would either fall over the 4th quaver in the L.H. or in the middle of the grupetto of the top voice in the R.H. (the latter was adopted in GE2, where a crotchet was added without correcting the layout of small quavers).

The poorly legible entry in FED certainly includes the added e1, perhaps also deletion of the tie of the aminim. According to us, it may mean returning the version of A with sustained aor possibly a version close to the one written by Chopin in the recapitulation, with a gruppetto composed of five notes starting after the ecrotchet.
