Crotchet in A

Quaver in FE (→GE,EE)

A crotchet as the rhythmic value of the upbeat in A could have been related to the original accentuation of bars 1-4, determining the crotchet beat. Moreover, it cannot be excluded that Chopin had in mind a dotted crotchet – cf. minims in the L.H. in bars 1-3 and 5-6, as well as crotchets in bars 4 and 7). In each case a quaver flag in FE (→GE,EE) was probably added by Chopin, therefore we adopt the version with the quaver to the main text (in FE an uncorrected crotchet rest was left in the L.H., which was corrected in GE and EE).
