b. 36
Particular versions differ both rhythmically and harmonically. Apart from FC (with dotted rhythm), the basis of these bars is a doubly dotted rhythm: with rests (in AO, AR, AE, CC, AG) or a tied note/consonance from the previous bar (in AK, F). The harmony in AG is different than in the remaining variants - it is based on a diminished four-note chord, contrary to the remaining versions, based on a C minor chord.
Chopin overlooked some single rests in the versions of AO, AR and AG (also →CY), which we add in the edition.
The c note on the 1st beat in the L.H. in CC may be considered a likely Terzverschreibung error - a copying inaccuracy - due to the lack of confirmation in other sources. Nevertheless, it does not interfere with the harmony in this bar, hence we present it as a separate variant.
