b. 41

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), EE, GE1 (→GE2→GE3)

More probable interpretation

Less probable interpretation

GE4
..

Given that there is g in the previous and next bar we may assume that the inner note of the chord in the second half of b. 25 per Chopin's intention was supposed to be g as well, and Chopin must have overseen . However, the version with g is no less satisfactory in musical terms, hence, assuming that Chopin's notation is correct we propose it for the main text.

..

We add  before c1 in the second half of the bar. In EE its omission is justified as this part is noted on the top staff.

A, FC3 (→FE→IE), GE

EE
..

In all sources except EE there are crotchet and a quaver e in the second half of the bar in LH. In EE there is a dotted crotchet (and no quaver), which might be an editorial revision of the copyist's omission of that quaver.

A, FC3 ( →FE→IE), EE, GE3 (→GE4)

GE1 (→GE2)
..

In GE1 (→GE2) a (noted with ) instead of c is incorrectly the lowest note on the second beat of the bar in LH. This error results also in the wrong pitch of the last quaver c instead of c.

In A and GE1 (→GE2→GE3) there is no  diminishing g to g in LH.
