It is difficult to say which version of the 1st beat of the bar is later and whether Chopin considered any of them to be final. According to us, when the G
bass note is played, it distorts the rhythmic scheme of this phrase, in which the accented quaver triplet, which is the local climax, is exposed against the L.H. rest. Chopin could have inserted this crotchet to compensate its absence in the previous bar – cf. b. 9 and 101 – later, however, in [AG] (→GE) he considered keeping the phrase's rhythm to be more important.
A similar issue can also be found in b. 139.
In FE (→EE) this G note is the starting point of a slur, which is a mistake. Moreover, the bass clef was not reintroduced here in AF (→FE→EE), which is Chopin's patent mistake.
