b. 21

composition: Op. 28 No. 23, Prelude in F major

e2 in A (→FC→GE1, →FE→EE) i GE3

c2 in GE2
..

Replacing the e2 seventh with a non-dissonant c2 fifth shows that, 30 years after the Prelude had been written, its authentic ending was still uncommon, even flagrant for the reviser of GE2, who would still think conventionally. They decided to change the note in spite of the fact that both the flat before the note and the accent above it exclude any possibility of mistake in this place.
