A comparison with similar bars 226, 250, 577 and 585 reveals that the discussed bar is the only one without a tenth as the 5th quaver in the L.H. (there is only its top note). Since in two out of four mentioned places (bars 226 and 585), the bottom note of the tenth was added in the proofreading of FE (it is indicated by visible traces performed in print), Chopin could have left the single note in the discussed bar inadvertently. Such omission of a correction in one of a few repeated places would happen to him quite frequently (cf. e.g. the Etude in B minor, op. 25, no. 10, bar 87 or the Prelude in F
minor, op. 28, no. 8, bar 17). Due to this reason, in the main text, we suggest adding the bottom note of the tenth, G, after the remaining bars.
