  b. 218

Dotted minim in A (→GE)

Minim & crotchet in FE (→EE)

Both source versions must be authentic, and both resulted from corrections:

  • in A Chopin initially wrote the following version: , in which he then crossed out both crotchets on the 3rd beat of the bar and added dots prolonging the minims;
  • the FE version resulted from the final A version, which is confirmed by traces of performing corrections in print, visible in some copies, in particular the trace of the dot prolonging the a minim.

In this situation in the main text we give the FE version, having resulted from Chopin's most mature reflection; he eventually opted for the same version as in bar 202.
