c2 tied in A & GE2

c2 repeated in GE1 (→FEEE)

Our variant suggestion

It is hard to decide whether the missing tie of cin GE1 (→FEEE) is a result of the removal of the tie by Chopin or of the engraver's inaccuracy. The latter seems to be more likely, since there are no traces of deleting the tie; moreover, in the version of A the 1st half of the bar clearly differs from bar 32 (such differences are characteristic for Chopin). On the other hand, while proofreading the 2nd half of the bar in FE, Chopin did not restore the version with the tie, which can be considered a proof of acceptance of repeating the discussed note. In this situation, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
