Quaver & dotted crotchet in FE (→GE1)

Quaver in EE

Quaver & crotchet in GE2

It is difficult to say whether the EE version resulted from the engraver's mistake or whether Chopin added a crotchet stem and an augmentation dot to d1 in the last stage of proofreading FE (→GE1), yet this correction was not marked in the copy that served as the basis for EE.
The absence of the dot in the GE2 copy presented in our system is most probably due to a defect related to the change of the printing technique, from copperplate engraving to lithography.
