Quaver d1 in JC

Quaver d1 in EF

Minim in PE

The extension of the note din bars 10 and 18, marked only in PE, is a typical Chopin's ploy. In bar 18 of this edition, an equivalent notation was applied, showing exactly the voices' coincidence. The notation may have resulted from a misunderstanding of the notation of [A], hence in both places we give the simplest notation used in bar 10.

The lower note of the sixth, f, is a quaver in JC, which is a patent inaccuracy in relation to the tie sustaining it into on the 3rd beat of the bar (see the next remark). According to us, it is yet probable that it corresponds to the notation of [AI] and illustrates the process of gradual improvement of the notation from bare quavers to the precise notation of ties of some of the notes.
