One-voice notation in A

Two-voice notation in GE

Two-voice notation in FE, EE & IE

In the main text we keep the A notation, often used by Chopin in his mature works, where he forgoes polyphonic accuracy for the sake of simplicity of notation. The GE notation proves a revision performed in print – quavers with stems pointing downwards were added to the already printed text, compliant with A, in order to rhythmically fill the bottom voice. This illogical notation was changed in all the remaining editions based on GE.
