b. 151

composition: Op. 43, Tarantella

A contextual interpretation
 

A literal reading
..

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. 152

In EE the chord on the second beat in the LH part is a dotted crotchet, while in other sources we find a crotchet and a quaver rest.

In sources bars 152-155 are slurred differently. We see differences mainly in the first half of the phrase.

Given it is a grace notes phrase we may assume GE to be the copyist's arbitrary interpretation.

Similarly, EE version with a slur beginning in the middle of b. 154 also seems little probable.

..

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.

We add cautionary  before f1 in RH. Similar addition was made in EE and GE4.
