e-b in A (contextual interpretation→GE→FE1→EE)

f-b in FE2

The tonic chord in the second inversion in [ReF] must be the original version of this quaver, eventually rejected by Chopin, since all the remaining sources feature a dominant chord in this place. According to us, the corrections introducing a new concept in the orchestral part were not entirely controlled by Chopin, which manifested itself in the omission of the seventh in Morch among others. However, the seventh is present in the piano reduction of A and in all editions. In the last phase of proofreading of FE2, the composer introduced another change, replacing the third of the chord with a transitory fourth. We include the latest, probably final, version in the main text.
