Quaver & minim c |
The simplified Chopinesque notation is formally erroneous – the c
1 minim does not last to the end of this bar, hence it cannot be sustained to the next one. On the other hand, despite inaccuracies, the notation seems unequivocal, which is supported by, e.g. the absence of corrections in the editions. Chopin would often forgo rhythmic precision in favour of more malleable or readable notation. In the main text we suggest a specified version, which does not seem excessively complicated.
