  b. 65-67

f1 in b. 65-66 in AI

One dotted minim f1 in b. 65 in FE1 (→GE1GE2)

f1 in b. 65-67 in FE2 (→EEC) & GE3

f1 repeated in b. 67 in EEW

It is uncertain whether the version of FE1 (→GE1GE2) is authentic, since the Chopinesque proofreading of FE2 could have only added the marks overlooked by the engraver. If, however, FE1 reproduced the [A] notation correctly, the differences between the three source versions would mean that Chopin hesitated to the very end how long the f1 note should be sustained here. The EEW version probably resulted from an oversight by the tie to f1 by the engraver, while the GE3 version almost certainly stems from FE2.
