In A, there is a visible correction of the middle note of the 2nd crotchet in the R.H. from f2 to e
2. The correction was certainly introduced after ½A had been completed, which is clearly indicated by different ink and the manner of writing, emphasising the fact of a correction. An identical change, in the same way, was introduced in analogous bar 403, which proves that the version with f2 was not an accidental mistake. In the orchestral part written in Morch, there are e2 (flute and clarinet) and e1 (2nd violin, viola and French horn), without any changes. In this situation, it seems to be likely that Chopin wrote the abandoned version of this chord in haste, once changed in [PI], but not in [SI], which he probably used while writing A (cf. the characterization of A).
