Our second alternative suggestion |
In FE the layout of the R.H. run against the L.H. semiquavers almost certainly does not correspond to the performance intended by Chopin – cf. similar situations in b. 17 and 41, in which the R.H. part was laid out 'at a guess,' without considering its alignment with the L.H. part. Therefore, in the main text we suggest the layout adopted in EE, which suggests the run's tempo comparable to the one of the remaining figures written in small notes. The alternative versions are based on an assumption that, just like in the remaining figures, the notation of [A] indicated the performance manner with the help of the rhythmic values of the remaining notes in the bar, yet in the editions the value of the first a2 was misinterpreted.
