The version of GE, in which the first two bars of this phrase are in the key of B minor, must be erroneous. It is the engraver of GE1 or Chopin in [A] that could be suspected of an oversight – after b. 103-106, in the key of C
minor, with d notes consolidated thanks to the G7 major chord (appearing three times), he could have considered d to be obvious. Moreover, if – hypothetically – he had wanted to change here the harmonic scheme with respect to the two previous appearances of this phrase (b. 27-34 and 53-60), he would have carefully marked such a change.
