Rhythm

b. 58

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

g & f with extra in A1

g & f, no in CJ, CK (→CB)

g & a, no in EL

Our variant suggestion
..

In the main text we suggest the additional crotchet stems present only in A1 in a variant form – see the note in the next bar. The version of EL must be erroneous; it is most probably a Terzverschreibung of the copyist or the engraver.

b. 59-60

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

3 extra in A1

No in CJ, CK (→CB) & EL

Our variant suggestion
..

Just like in b. 13-14, in the main text we suggest the additional crotchet stems present only in A1 in a variant form. At the same time, Chopin omitted the stem next to g in b. 60; we discuss this possible inaccuracy in a separate note.

b. 64

composition: WN 37, Lento con gran espressione

..

The final C in the L.H. is notated in A1 as a minim, which is an obvious mistake.
