Rest in GE

The rest added in GE ensures the formal correctness of the rhythmic notation on the top stave, on which the sources, in addition to the R.H. part, also wrote down the L.H. crotchets on the 2nd and 3rd beats of the bar. Chopin, however, generally avoided writing rests that are not necessary for an unequivocal reading of the text.
