Single L.H. notes & two-part notation of R.H. chord in GE (→EE,FESB) |

In GE (→EE,FESB) the R.H. part was retouched in the version of A – the chord and the sixth on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar were written down in two-part writing. It is uncertain whether it was an authentic change – it could have been introduced by the engraver or reviser in order to achieve homogeneous two-part writing.
However, much more serious changes – as was also the case with the previous bar – were introduced in the stage of proofreading FE1 (→FE2), which is proven by the visible traces of corrections, e.g. the outlines of the noteheads of the F and B
quavers. At the same time, there is no doubt that they come from Chopin, hence we include them in the main text. In the changed version, an inaccuracy was committed – the f-f1 octave was mistakenly placed under the e2-c3 sixth, which can lead to a mistake in the interpretation of rhythm.
