The initial version of AsI and A, with only one a2-c3 third, was additionally depleted by GE (→FESB,EE1→EE2), 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. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE , Uncertain notes on ledger lines |

The absence of c1 in the last chord is most probably an oversight by the engraver of GE (→FE,EE) caused by the notation of A, which is not entirely clear. The presence of this note in AsI, however, is a strong argument for a similar interpretation of the notation of A. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Uncertain notes on ledger lines , Inaccuracies in A |
