The layout of the chords of the orchestral part reduction in A (→GE) corresponds to the division into instrument groups and not to piano reality – four voices on the top stave are grouped in twos, with an indication of flutes and clarinets performing them, whereas the bass voice, imitating the double-bass part (an octave higher) is written as a third voice on the bottom stave. It was changed in a proofreading of FE (→EE), most probably by Chopin, to a layout indicating the pianist a division into hands, which we adopt in the main text.
