GE (→FEEE): semiquaver after the 6th L.H. note

Notation in keeping with Chopin's understanding of such figures

In bars 37-42 and 44-45 in GE (→FEEE) the semiquaver of the double dotted rhythm in the right hand was moved beyond the third note of the second triplet of the accompaniment. This misleading, inauthentic notation was also used for the double dotted rhythm in bar 49 and in the notation of dotted rhythms throughout the Nocturne - cf. bars 5-13.

See also: the note to bars 29-36 and the chapter devoted to that topic in: Jan Ekier, Introduction to the National Edition, Editorial Issues.
