In the main text we give the rhythm of FE (→EE), which probably represents the latest intention of Chopin, written in [A] or introduced in a proofreading of FE. The composer could have wanted to reinforce the return of the initial fragment of the piece (cf. the note on the accent). The dynamic and rhythmic motif of the last accentuated crotchet of the bar is one of the most characteristic sound phenomena of the Etude.
