Arguments pointing out to the engraver's mistake:

  • lack of any signs of deleting ; various signs deleted in bar 7 or 22 left visible traces;
  • probable occurrence of the same error in several other works by Chopin; the music engraving technique of the day required the engraver to work with a mirror image of the base text;
  • appearing in all the sources in the analogous bar 30.
