All source notations of the 2nd half of the bar are erroneous or unclear, however, none of them can be corrected in a way that would not be questioned.
In this situation, we base the main text on the version of A which, in spite of its inaccuracies, seems to be the most reliable, as far as the authenticity is concerned. Out of two natural possibilities of correcting the mistake (changing two demisemiquavers to hemidemisemiquavers or deleting one of the dots extending the e1 quaver) we choose the second, giving a smoother development of the figuration introducing the main theme. We suggest a modified version of FE as an alternative version. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in GE , Errors in GE , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the part of the R.H. it is only GE2 that does not contain a rhythmic error. The version, however, resulted from a revision and it certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. For the remaining sources (except for EE3), we adopt an interpretation compatible with the way the R.H. is planned with respect to the quavers in the L.H. As the text of EE3 we adopt the rhythm that, according to us, predominates at the time of interpreting the easiest perceptible elements of the rhythm: a crotchet, an extended crotchet and a group of semiquavers with a triplet inside. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A |

In A (→GE1→FE→EE) Chopin provided the half-bar demisemiquaver figure with the number 30. The mistake was noticed only in GE2. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A |

The eight-note figure filling the 3rd quaver of the bar was written in A by Chopin as a demisemiquaver septuplet. The patent mistake was partially corrected in GE2, by writing it as an octuplet of demisemiquavers. According to us, there are no reasons for such an atypical notation, hence we replace the septuplet with a regular group of hemidemisemiquavers. In FE (→EE) the second note was overlooked, which removed the incompatibility of the notation with the actual state. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A |
