  b. 454-455

The third at the beginning of bar 454 and the chord at the beginning of bar 455 are written in A with two voices – both dare provided with separate stems pointing upwards. This detail was not reproduced in any of the editions, we omit it in our transcriptions, too. Chopin generally had a practical, pianistic approach and would separate the voices only when they moved in different rhythm – cf. the notation of all the remaining crotchets ending this kind of triplet sequences (bars 410-411, 413-415 and analog.); therefore, this strict, "score-like" notation applied in this place is rather an exception.
