15 notes in A

14 notes in GE (→FEEE)

It is unclear whether the version of the editions, with the run comprising only 14 notes, without e2, should be regarded as an engraver's mistake or Chopin's correction. Unnatural spacing of notes in GE1 could point to a deletion of a note, however there are no visible traces of changes in print like tiny remnants of the original text. We thus adopt into the main text the undoubtedly Chopinesque version of A. Cf. similar problem in the 2nd movement of the Concerto, bar 80.

In all editions except GE2, this 14-notes long group is marked with a 15, left over from the A version.
