  b. 392-393

f-f1 repeated in A (→FC→GE1)

Only f1 repeated in FE (→EE)

f-f1 tied in GE2 (→GE3)

A comparison with b. 266-267 and analog. (7 places in total) points to Chopin's patent mistake. Therefore, in the main text we include the ties added in GE2 (→GE3). The tie of f was added already in FE (→EE), which is probably a revision of the engraver, who added the missing tie in the chord on the bottom stave as part of his routine activities (such routine additions are evidenced in the Mazurka in D Major, Op. 33 No. 3, b. 8-9 and 24-25).
