& g
We give the last chord as written down in AsI, Af and A, without any doubts, and as restored – almost certainly by Chopin – in the stage of proofreading FE1. The versions of GE1 (→EE) and GE2 (→GE3,FESB), both musically possible, although less natural than the text of A, most probably resulted from revisions, suggested by the apt additions to the 2nd half of bar 255, introduced just before – the reviser of GE1 added there 3 naturals raising e
2, e1 and e to e2, e1 and e, while the reviser of GE2 4 naturals raising g1 to g1 in the L.H. and g2, g1 and g to g2, g1 and g in the R.H.
