g in AsI, FE & EE3

g in A (→GE→FESB,EE1→EE2

The missing  lowering g to g in A and the majority of the editions must be Chopin's mistake, which is proven by g present in AsI (both in the piano and the orchestral part) and in the violas and the bassoon in GEork (→FEork). In addition, the accidental was added, probably by Chopin, in the stage of proofreading FE; it is also in EE3.
