The rhythmic notation of A1 gives rise to doubts in this bar, since in spite of the change of time signature to 
, the bar contains 5 crotchets. Initially, Chopin most probably envisioned triplet movement, like in the version of [A2] (→CJ,CK), yet he eventually changed the first note from a quaver to a crotchet and added rests. Therefore, we adopt this notation, imprecise, yet suggestive, as the text of this autograph.
The rhythm of the sources coming from [A2] is generally unambiguous; although it is only in CB that the notation can be considered correct, minor inaccuracies in the remaining sources do not hamper its interpretation. In the main text we give the text of CJ, completed with a rest for the R.H. part, without which the notation could be misleading.
