The sparing Chopinesque notation in b. 78 and 90 – no clear indication that the last crotchet still falls within the minim – may be misleading and it actually misled the engraver of FE, who laid out 3 beats of each of these bars as if they were 4/4 bars (see FE in the version 'transcription'). The erroneous layout was not repeated in GE and EE, yet in EE an extending dot next to the g minim was added, which means that the engraver counted four beats in this bar (the erroneous dot was removed in EE2). In the main text, in order to avoid doubts, we specify the mutual relation between the L.H. voices.
