The d
1 and c1 notes on the 2nd beat of the bar are written as quavers in the violas' part. It is the first of a few rhythmic discrepancies of this kind between the orchestral part and the corresponding Chopinesque piano reduction constituting a part of FE – cf. bars 12 and 53. It does not seem that all of them could be attributed to mistakes; there are also no proofs suggesting that Chopin could have been striving for a unified rhythm in those places. Therefore, it suggests that the orchestral parts and the piano reduction were considered independently, to a certain extent, and in a quite surprising aspect.
