  b. 128

In the previous bar Chopin extended the bass d note with an additional crotchet stem. This suggests that the absence of such an extension in the discussed bar may be an oversight. Therefore, we suggest an appropriately completed version as an alternative solution. In the main text, however, we preserve the d note as a quaver, since the same difference in duration – crotchet in b. 127 and quaver in b. 128 – is present in the cellos part, which shows that the rhythmic value and function in the phrase of each of these notes were different in Chopin's mind.

See the note below.
