Rest in As, contextual interpretation

b-e1 in FE (→GE,EE)

In As the third beat in the L.H. part is not recorded. Since chord repetitions are marked in As by vertical lines symbolizing the stems of repeated chords, we assume that Chopin intended a rest here. It is possible, however, that he considered the repetition of the previous crotchet so obvious that he even omitted the abbreviated marking of this beat.
