The change of rhythmic values in GE (→FEEE) is probably a result of a mistake of the engraver of GE1, who could have simply committed a mistake or (being certain that in such figures the note after the rest is shortened) could have considered that it was Chopin that made a mistake. A possible proofreading by Chopin seems to be highly unlikely due to the total absence of changes in print. Chopin would use both types of notation in similar situations; sometimes he would hesitate or change his decisions (see the Scherzo in C minor, Op. 39, bar 47). Cf. a similar situation in bar 32, as well as bar 41 and 81.

b. 32

composition: Op. 21, Concerto in F minor, Mvt II

Demisemiquaver g3 in A (→GE)

Demisemiquaver f3 in FE (→EE)

..

Same as in bar 13, the change of rhythm is probably a result of a mistake or revision, this time of the engraver of FE (→EE). Same as in that case, a possibility of Chopin's proofreading cannot be, however, entirely excluded.
