Comparison of the piano part in A (→GE→FE→EE) with the orchestral part of Morch gives rise to the suspicion that there is a mistake, due to a non-simultaneous introduction of an altered fifth of the G
major chord (written by Chopin as e
):
.
It appears at the beginning of the bar in the 2nd violin part and on the 2nd beat of the bar in the R.H. with unchanged d2 and d1 in the L.H. ReF shows that the mistake was committed in Morch – the 2nd violin should have f1 instead of e1.
The notation of the trill on e3 shall be also completed, since the necessary accidental specifying the top note of the trill is missing over it.
An alternative version suggested by us allows to achieve an even smoother harmonic sound, at the expense of a small modification of rhythm and pedalling.
