Sixth in A & GE2

f2 in GE1

a1-f2 in FE (→EE)

The a1-fgrace note is written inaccurately in A – the fragment of the stem combining both notes of the sixth is missing. It most probably contributed to the omission of the bottom note, a1, in GE1. The mistake was corrected by Chopin in FE (→EE) analogously to bar 27, a solution we adopt in the main text. The version of A can be considered an equal variant, since, although being earlier, it was never directly replaced by Chopin.
