composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

In the 2nd half of the bar Chopin wrote the R.H. part with two separate voices. In the editors' opinion, the only reason for such a notation were the augmented primes on the 4th and 5th semiquaver. In Chopin's times the modern notation was not yet in use, and the employed method was prone to cause misunderstandings, e.g. in Ballade in G minor, op. 23, bar 170 or in Variations in B major op. 12, bar 110. Therefore, we give the original notation only in our transcripts.
