The version of FE0 (→EE), in which the last semiquaver in bar 91 is linked with a beam to a quaver in bar 92, is certainly a mistake. It is hard to state clearly whether this error follows exclusively from the engraver's oversights or whether it was also some inaccuracies in Chopin base text that contributed to it. As a consequence, the first of the errors resulted in a change of the 1st value in bar 92 from a crotchet to a quaver and most probably it contributed to further rhythmic displacements: a too early placing of the quaver rest and a possible omission of the R.H. in the 2nd half of the bar (see the adjacent note). Chopin apparently did not correct this mistake in the base text to EE, yet the quaver rest was printed correctly, on the 2nd crotchet. To the main text we adopt the unambiguous version of FE1 and GE, confirmed by Chopin proofreading of FEG and similar rhythmic arrangements in bars 99-100.
