suggested by editorsInitially the 1st half of bar 146 was probably B
-e1-f (as in the preceding bar). This is indicated by the rhythmic values (
) of the f notes on the last quaver in bar 145 and on the 2nd quaver in bar 146 and by the traces of corrections in print, visible in this place in FE. Chopin introduced the final version (which we provide) most probably to avoid two subsequent ninths (e1-f2 and f-g1) in combination with the R.H. However, he did not take care of changing the rhythmic values of the held f notes, hence we correct the notation of the sources to precisely write down the constant presence of the f notes, which are both the middle pedal note and an anchor point for the hand.
