The sources do not clearly indicate where Chopin wanted to put . In the main text we give the indication on the basis of GC, in which it was Chopin himself that wrote it. It can also be seen that it was a correction – the same indication, written by the copyist slightly lower, was crossed out. The interpretation of both the entry and correction is, however, difficult – we do not know whether the indication should concern the 1st beat of the bar or be valid only from the second one or if it should concern only or more the R.H. or the entire chords. According to us, each of the source versions can be considered to be justified, both graphically and musically. The solution adopted in the main text refers to the more graphically clear situation in bar 83
