FEF
compare
The value of the semiquaver, which was given to the a1 note from the previous bar in EF, is most probably a result of Fontana's revision. In spite of that, we adopt it for the main text, as the crotchet visible in JC and PE may suggest the necessity to hold it with fingers, which certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intentions, if we take into account the rests and the indication leggiero.
