The version of FE (→EE) could be considered a result of Chopin's proofreading. However, it can be a quite frequent so-called Terzverschreibung error, i.e. erroneously printing a note a third away from the correct one. In the main text we give the probably authentic, later version of FE. According to us, the earlier, yet undoubtedly authentic, version of A can be considered to be equal.

b. 217

F in A (→GE→FE→EE)

G suggested by the editors

At the beginning of the bar, we give G in the main text, present as the bass note in the orchestral part, Morch. It would be unthinkable that the F seventh placed in the bass would remain unresolved, moving on to C in the next bar, present in the double bass part. A possible reason for the erroneous presence of the F note in A is imagining only the solo piano part when writing A, in haste. In this case, the actual bass line (including pedalling) forms an A-G-F sequence:
.
The version with F may be considered an acceptable variant only when performing the piece without accompaniment.
