b. 433-437
The solution suggested in the main text consisting in treating the quavers on the 1st beat of bars 433 and 437 as the 1st and 3rd notes of a quaver triplet seems to be recommended both due to the musical reasons (in the coda of this movement of the Concerto, there is an absolute supremacy of the triplet movement) and the pianistic ones (hand transfer). Such a notation can be found in Chopin's pieces on several occasions, e.g. in the Sonata in B minor, op. 58, 1st mov., bar 54, the 1st crotchet in the R.H. and the 4th crotchet in the L.H. In the latter, Chopin introduced a rest between two quavers in a pupil's copy.
