Crotchet b1 in FC (→GE)

Minim in FE (→EE)

Both versions may be authentic – Chopin would write groups of small notes both as occupying a certain part of the bar and beyond the bar, cf., e.g. the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21, II mov., bar 26 and 30-31 and 33. On the other hand, one of them may be erroneous, but it is not so important in this context, since a difference in notation does not significantly influence the performance. In the main text we suggest a minim due to a possibility of a correction by Chopin in FE (→EE).
