The version of the later sources must be a Chopinesque improvement – it is common to encounter bass notes having been lowered by an octave (or an added bottom octave) throughout the work on a piece in his output, e.g. in the Mazurka in C Minor, Op. 50 No. 3, b. 77, 79 and analog. or in the Etude in A Major, Op. 25 No. 1, b. 1.
