Minim d1 in Atut (literal reading→FEGE,EE)

Dotted minim d​1 in Atut, contextual interpretation

In Atut, the rhythmic value of the d1 minim is unclear – there is no stem next to it, hence it seems to be a semibreve. It can be a mere deficiency, frequent in Chopin's autographs; however, it cannot be excluded that Chopin planned here a dotted minim, like it is in the orchestra (bassoon I) and in similar bars 122 and 682.
