The notation of the rhythm in the sources is misleading, since the d
2 minim in bar 133 and the g1 minim in bar 134 are placed over the 2nd quaver in the bar or even after it. Chopin would often use this earlier notational convention, generally in the case of notes filling an entire bar. It is particularly the beginning of bar 133 that raises doubts, in which, at first sight, it seems that after the a1 crotchet one should play the d1-d2 octave. Chopin's addition in FED – a dash combining a1 with d2 – confirms that the text was misinterpreted here by the pupil. Similar ambiguities are present in analogous bars 281-282.
