  b. 290

a2-c3 third in AsI & A

Single notes in GE (→FESB,EE1EE2)

3 thirds in FE & EE3

The initial version of AsI and A, with only one a2-c3 third, was additionally depleted by GE (→FESB,EE1EE2), which did not notice the a2 crotchet at the beginning of bar 291 (it can be difficult to establish the presence of a middle note on ledger lines in Chopin's autographs, although in this case the a2 notehead is quite distinct). While proofreading FE1 (→FE2) Chopin added bottom thirds to the entire three-note motif, which was also taken into account by EE3.
