b. 153
In A we mark this bar in an abbreviated manner as repetition of bar 49, written with a mistake – see the commentary to this bar. The version of FE (→EE), in which the chords omitted at the end of the bar were – certainly ordered by Chopin – completed, includes another mistake in the form of superfluous G notes. As a result, the correct text of the 2nd half of the bar, resulting from the interpretation of A confirmed by Chopin proofreading of FE in bar 49, appears explicite only in GE.
The sources differ in the notation of the rest embracing the 4th and 5th quavers of the bar, which we do not include in the given variants. In the main text, we give the notation used by Chopin on a number of occasions in A (bars 1, 3 and 5).
