Different versions of rhythmic notation of the last third are not easy to classify in terms of authenticity and chronology. The differences between particular sources concern three elements: the tie sustaining b
1, the rhythmic value of the d2 note and semiquaver rest, completing the rhythmic values of the top voice. For the d2 note we adopt the form of the staccato quaver present in FE, as the version could have been corrected by Chopin. From the practical point of view, it is, however, only the tie or repetition of the b1 note that is important. Taking into account undeniable Chopin additions in FE in this and the next bar, to the main text we adopt the version without tie. In addition, we also suggest a variant solution with the tie in brackets, as Chopin's final intention concerning this issue is not entirely conclusive.
