B​​​​​​​ in FE (→EE1EE2)

B in GE & EE3

B with ​​​​​​​ suggested by the editors

In GE, a  raising B to B​​​​​​​ was added, most probably arbitrarily, before the bottom note of the 2nd crotchet. The reviser of EE3 also added that mark, probably under the influence of GE. However, we believe that the  is not authentic, since avoiding a strict repetition of a progression's segments is characteristic of Chopin, cf. e.g. a nearly identical harmonic sequence in the Rondo in F Major, Op. 5, bars 438-440. In order to avoid misunderstandings, we add a cautionary  in this place.
