Quavers a in A1 & CK

Crotchet b & quaver in CJ

Quavers bg in CB, contextual interpretation

Crotchet b in EL

Crotchet b & quaver  a suggested by the editors

Extending the b quaver to a crotchet, which results in a g(a)-b third at the end of the bar, is probably a specification of notation introduced in [A2]. The additional stem is absent in CK (→CB), whereas in EL this note is a crotchet, since the last quaver was omitted. It is almost certainly Kolberg's revision, suggesting his knowledge of the authentic notation of [A2], although it had not been reproduced in CK – he could have considered the additional stem to be a correction of the text of the last beat of the bar. The aforementioned third leads to a-c1 in the next bar, which is slightly obscured by the Chopinesque simplified orthography (in CB the last quaver is written as g; however, the  raising b to b in the penultimate one was overlooked). In the main text we add a cautionary  to the Chopinesque a.
