  b. 7

A turn with a raised lower note in A

An ordinary turn in GE

The version of FE (→EE) corrected by Chopin

Correcting FE, Chopin somewhat changed the contour of the melody in that bar. The earlier sources—A (→GE)—have a repeated e flat2 at the beginning of the second half of the bar and a turn between that quaver and the next one. In the later sources, FE (→EE), the note e flat2 is tied and the turn is removed.
