  b. 632

e2 in FE (→EE)

e2 in GE

Stylistically speaking, the version of GE is absolutely possible – such melodic sequences can be quite frequently found in Chopin's pieces (cf. bar 610 or bar 66 in the 2nd mov. as well as, e.g. the Ballade in G Minor, Op. 23, bar 45 and 47). However, in this case, nothing supports the authenticity of that version – in similar contexts, in spite of the step of augmented second, Chopin used a harmonic note in bar 636 as well as in bar 624, 628 and 640.
