When interpreted literally, the last crotchet in the L.H. in A includes only three notes, c-g-c1. It is most probably a mistake, resulting from b and c1 merging into one note. This assumption is confirmed by such a sound of the chord in [ReF]. This empty sounding version was repeated in all editions. As the version of Morch, we give a chord in a format adopted by Chopin in the previous chords, corresponding with its harmonic content to the full chord in the orchestra. According to us, it is the most naturally sounding version in this context due to the use of a full four-note seventh chord, hence we adopt it to the main text.
