In the sources, the chord at the beginning of the bar is written monophonically, in spite of varying rhythmic values. Chopin, striving for a maximal simplicity of notation, would often use such notation (cf. e.g. the Etudes Op. 10, in E
minor, No. 6, bar 20 i 46, F major, No. 8, bar 47, 49 and 50, C minor, No. 12, bar 57). In the places where the original notation can be improved without an excessive complication of the notation, we introduce relevant corrections.
