It is hard to decide whether the missing tie of c2 in GE1 (→FE→EE) is a result of the removal of the tie by Chopin or of the engraver's inaccuracy. The latter seems to be more likely, since there are no traces of deleting the tie; moreover, in the version of A the 1st half of the bar clearly differs from bar 32 (such differences are characteristic for Chopin). On the other hand, while proofreading the 2nd half of the bar in FE, Chopin did not restore the version with the tie, which can be considered a proof of acceptance of repeating the discussed note. In this situation, in the main text we suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of GE |

In the editions the last note is written as a hemidemisemiquaver. Therefore, the group filling the 4th beat of the bar contains a fractional number of demisemiquavers – 8½ in GE1 and 9½ in FE (→EE), which must be regarded as a mistake. The engraver of GE1 probably shortened the last note, kind of "automatically" – cf. bar 41. The mistake was revised only in GE2, by reducing the value of the rest, which does not correspond to Chopin's original intention expressed in A. However, it could be that an additional beam was added in GE1 (→FE→EE) upon inspiration from Chopin, whereas leaving the rest without any changes was merely an oversight. In that situation, the version of GE2 would be a rational correction of an inaccurately performed proofreading of GE1. Such a possibility would be indicated by the overlooked '9' digit, determining the number of demisemiquavers in the group. The above analysis of the rhythm of the roulade's ending is binding regardless of the versions of its earlier part – see the previous note in this bar. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Errors resulting from corrections , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Rhythmic errors |

It is uncertain whether the tie of the minim in GE1 (→FE→EE) was overlooked or removed by Chopin. According to us, the first possibility is more likely; however, in the main text we suggest a variant solution. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |
