The rhythm of A, interpreted literally, is unclear. Aligning the notes of the L.H. under the part of the R.H. suggests that Chopin thought of an analogous version to the version of bar 34 in this place. In the main text we adopt the version of FE (→EE3), as it is the latest authentic source, while the notation therein is faultless and unequivocal. The suggested variants include also different placement and number of accents in GE and EE4, most probably or certainly non-authentic. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

In bars 41 and 43 A has the original version of the rhythm, corrected by Chopin in FE (→GE,EE). Moreover, in bar 41 the notation of A is erroneous, as there are no dots next to the crotchet on the 2nd quaver in the bar extending its value. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the main text, we place a demisemiquaver under/over the last note of a semiquaver triplet in each of the 4 places where such a combination occurs, in accord with the notation of A (→GE→EE,FESB). In FE1 (→FE2) the demisemiquaver in these figures is placed after the last semiquaver of the triplet. This is certainly an arbitrary revision of the engraver of this edition, who had not yet seen that Chopin was using this Baroque-Classical convention, which in the 19th century was gradually superseded by a notation conforming with the strictly calculated nominal rhythmic values of the notes. In all places (as well as in bar 44) AsI notes a dotted rhythm in twice the rhythmic values, as category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Rhythmic errors , Dotted rhythms and triplets , FE revisions |
