In FC3 (→FE→IE), EE in the middle voice, instead of dotted c minim, there are two dotted crotchets. However, in FE the second crotchet is not dotted and in EE the crotchets are tied. In GE4 we see a combination of the two forst versions - dotted minim on the first beat and dotted crotchet on the second beat.
The variant with two crotchets, identical with corresponding bars 84 and 100 may be viewed as the Chopin's edit in [FC2] (→FC3) or copyist's error (bars 133-147 in A are marked in an abbreviated form as the repetition of bars 85-99, and smilarly bars 110-115 are not written out; therefore it may well have been the case that when copying Tarantella for the second time the copyist began rewriting the phrase from its beginning and did not notice a slight difference in the second voice).
