  b. 61-62

e1 in bars 61-62 in A1, CK (→CB) & EL

e1 & e1 in CJ, literal reading

e1 & e1 in CJ, contextual interpretation

Out of the two versions coming from [A2], we give priority to CK due to its compliance with the unequivocally authentic version of A1. The sharp raising e1 to e1 in b. 61 in CJ could have been placed by mistake, e.g. due to the resemblance of the figures in b. 61-63. On the other hand, one cannot rule out that Chopin wanted to introduce a major variant of the tonic already in b. 61 – cf. the major endings of the Nocturnes in E Minor, WN 23, C Minor, Op. 27 No. 1, F Minor, Op. 48 No. 2 or F Minor, Op. 55 No. 2, consisting of a few or several dozen bars.
