On the copy of FE2 presented in mUltimate Chopin, the c1 note seems to be removed from the first quaver in b. 9. Unfortunately, the inability to compare it with another copy – the only catalogued one is in the Viennese Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, which does not share the digitised versions of their collection – does not allow us to check whether it is merely a misprint. If the note was actually removed, it could have been:
- a mistake while removing the tie;
- a revision – in terms of sound, the version of FE2 without c1 is very close to the version of A1, which holds the note;
- Chopinesque proofreading performed ad hoc (according to us, least likely).
See the previous note.
