Pitch

b. 89

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II

Octave in A

Only E in GE (→FE→EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

It is difficult to state why the editions overlooked the octave reinforcement of the bass in this bar. According to us, Chopin's proofreading is less likely than an inaccuracy of the engraver.
