  b. 17-19

The e1 semibreves in b. 17 and 19 fill entire bars in A – they are dotted and, in accordance with the Chopinesque habit, placed close to the middle of the bar (cf., e.g. the Prelude No. 15 in D Major, b. 84-85). In FC (→GE) the latter is not provided with a dot, while in GE – both are not. It is Fontana's oversight and a standardizing revision or another oversight in GE.
