The FE (→EE) rhythm is the initial version. To the main text we adopt the rhythm corrected by Chopin in A (→GE), after [FC] (→FE) had been finished – the correction is proven by small graphic details, e.g. a slightly different colour intensity of the added dots and semiquaver flags. The quaver triplet movement, prevailing both before and after this bar, allows us to assume that the variation is only of graphic nature – Chopin tried to write a rhythm in which the last played note is a triplet quaver in the simplest way possible, which, in this situation, is to be considered the most appropriate performance.
The same applies to bar 234.
