  b. 21-22

B tied in A (→FC→GE) & EE2

B repeated in FE (→EE1)

The missing tie of B is either a mistake of the engraver of FE or a liberal interpretation – initially, it was also f that was tied in A, yet Chopin crossed out that tie, which, considering the staccato dot over the B-f fifth, could be regarded as an inaccurately marked abandonment of both ties. The tie was added in EE2 probably after GE1.
