b. 63-64

Possible interpretation of AI

AI (probable interpretation) & A (→FEGE,EE)

The notation of AI, in which the groups filling the 1st half of these bars are written as quavers, gives rise to doubts concerning the interpretation of the possible original version of the 2nd half of bar 63. In Chopin's intention, the deleted a1-a2 quaver could have been a semiquaver, as it has the same value as the previous octaves. Overall, it offers three possibilities of interpretation of the original version of this bar:

category imprint: Differences between sources

issues: Rhythmic errors

notation: Rhythm
