The erroneous value of the bass e – double dotted minim – written in GC (→GE1) was probably supposed to, according to Chopin's intention, provide a simultaneous decay (before the rest) of all three voices. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a relevant notation, introduced in GE2 (→GE3).

In all sources exept GE4 and EE the crotchet beginning the second half of the bar in RH is mistakenly notated without an augmentation dot. Compare annotation in b. 4.

Quaver & quaver rest in FC (contextual interpretation→GE1) & FE (→EE)

Dotted quaver & semiquaver rest in GE2
..

In FC the last L.H. f1 note is a dotted quaver, as a result of which the bar includes one semiquaver too many. The mistake was corrected in GE1 to a version that is also in FE (→EE); therefore, we give it in the main text. The GE2 version is an alternative revision of the erroneous FC notation, not devoid of logic with respect to the R.H. rhythm, but almost certainly inauthentic.
