  b. 4-36

In A (→#CF) Chopin did not introduce any additional indications over the semibreve rests (bars 4, 12, 23-24, 28 and 36), which was reproduced only in GE2. In FE (→EE) it was the digit 1 that was placed over each single rest, whereas a pair of bars with rests was replaced with a double bar with a two-bar rest provided with the digit 2. In GE1 in each of the discussed bars both rests were provided with the digit 1. A similar notation was introduced in GE3, in which, however, the ones in bar 24 were replaced with twos. In the main text we keep the simple but unequivocal Chopinesque notation.
