b. 48

 

 

Lack of the c1 note on the 2nd beat of the bar is probably a consequence of difficulties in the interpretation of the autograph. In Chopin notation, the notes on ledger lines, devoid of a separate stem, are sometimes barely visible and determining their possible presence tends to be very difficult. Chopin added this note in FEG (→GE) and in the base texts to FE and EE. Respective notes are absent in FE0 also in analogous bars 80112 and 172 (yet they are in bar 268). In FEG (→GE) Chopin added them also in these bars; most probably he did it also in the base text to EE, yet not in FE1.
