Dotted minim g in A (→FEEE) & GE1

Minim g in FC & GE2 (→GE3)

The dotted g minim is the original version, left in A most probably by inadvertence. It is indicated by corrections in two previous analogous places (b. 274 and 295). Chopin's distraction in this place, as well as in the entire second appearance of this section, is proven by a few evident inaccuracies, e.g. the overlooked ties of g-e1 in b. 375-376 and f-f1 in b. 392-393. The versions of FC and GE1 are probably erroneous: the copyist was copying A with a dotted minim, of which the engraver of GE1 could not have been aware. The omission of the dot in GE2 (→GE3) is probably a revision unifying that bar with the three remaining analogous places.
