The accent over the f2 minim visible in A may be interpreted as short or long. Among the remaining versions, the text of GE1 could have come from Chopin; however, an unambiguous, comprehensive reconstruction of the course of possible corrections of first editions does not seem to be possible in this place. Taking into account the fact that each notation emphasises – in one way or another – a syncopated entrance of a new, altered chord, in the main text we leave the undoubtedly authentic notation of A (in the version with a long accent, more likely in this context).
