When interpreted literally, the chord on the 3rd beat of the bar in A (→FC) consists of the following notes: F1-F
-b
-d
1-f
1, which, in turn, results in a G
major chord (F
major), which could be a part of this harmonic sequence. However, Chopin would generally avoid such an unnatural orthography; therefore, he most probably overlooked here the naturals lowering all f
notes to f. They were added both in FE (→EE) and GE, and the composer did not question the printed naturals in any of the three teaching copies containing annotations coming from him.
