The simplified rhythmic notation of a
1 on the 8th quaver in the bar used by Chopin in A (→FE) made the revisers of GE and EE to attempt its clarification or correction. The notation of EE strictly reproduces Chopin's intention, although at the expense of complicating the notation. In turn, in GE1 (→GE2) the addition of a dot extending the minim only replaced one imprecise notation with another. What is more, the notation provoked the reviser of GE3 (→GE4) to shift the minim to the 7th quaver, which practically eliminated this note being struck as part of the chord, totally distorting the figuration's contour in this place.
