Rhythm

b. 153

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

In A at the beginning of b. 153 (and b. 161 marked as repeat) third c1-e1 is not dotted. Such notation seems more natural to accomodate the phrasing, so we retain it in the main text, even though in corresponding b. 149 (157) there are augmentation dots. Compare annotation in b. 4.

b. 155

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

In all sources except EE the first beat of the bar in th LH part is a crotchet chord. In EE we find a dotted crotchet her.

b. 155

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
 
..

In A octave e-e in the second half of bars 151, 155 and 159 in LH is a crotchet without augmentation dots or rests. It seems more correct to complete the rhythm with a rest, as Chopin notated it in corresponding b. 163. Augmentation dots in the discussed bars in FC3 (→FE→IE), GE and EE were most  probably added by the copyist. Compare annotation in b. 4.

b. 156

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

Our proposed variant
 
..

Since bars 148-155 in A are marked with a repeat sign, we notate the second chord of LH in b. 156 as a crotchet and quaver rest analogous to b. 148. In the remaining sources the notation of b. 148 as a crotchet and quaver rest was also retained.

b. 156

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

 
 
..

In A, in the second part of b. 148 (and 156 marked as repeat) in both the bottom voice in RH and in LH the crotchets are not dotted and there are no rests. We make additions to the notation based on the correctly written out corresponding b. 152 (and 160).
