The version of FE (→EE) probably originated as a result of a mistake of the engraver, who wrongly put c
2 in the chord on the 4th quaver in the bar. At the stage of proofreading, in order to avoid the removal of the wrong note, a tie was added to it, which is much simpler in terms of the engraving technique. It is difficult to say whether this solution was indicated by Chopin himself or the engraver applied it arbitrarily. A similar correction can also be found in, e.g. the Polonaise in C minor, Op. 40 No. 2, b. 124-125.
