  b. 95

No pauses in FC (→GE)

Pauses in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

Both versions – with or without fermatas – may be authentic, whereby fermatas, if added by Chopin in the stage of proofreading FE, would be his latest decision. Both versions also seem musically attractive – longer reverberation of the D major chord compensates for the lack of cadence in this key, while ending the chord in accordance with the rhythm reminds not only of the key, but also of the resolute, feisty nature (risoluto) of the phrases maintained in the key of D major. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
