FE (→EE)

The editors’ proposal

 

None of the versions found in the sources can be treated as fully reflecting Chopin's intention. The notation of bars 26-28 in A – including   in bars 27-28 – seems quite untidy, and in GE1 and FE it is easy to point out at elements reproduced inaccurately or incorrectly. In our proposal we try to combine the least questionable elements of the notation of  A and FE (i.e. sources that can be considered the most authentic) to create a musically justified whole.
