b. 64

 

 

The version of the 2nd half of the bar in A, FE and EE is rather erroneous, however, it is not entirely certain. It could have been the original version: the deleted chord in A in the L.H. at the beginning of bar 65 is a better continuation for c2 and athan the final redaction (the note): . Yet taking into account both the entry in FEJ and the unequivocal version of analogous bar 80, we claim that it is Chopin's error that is the most probable explanation of the sources' state.

The mistakes in the number of ledger lines are Chopin's most frequent errors, yet in this case, the error concerns 2 notes and was probably committed 2 times (in A and in another autograph).
