In A (→GE→FE→EE) Chopin changed the R.H. rhythm in comparison to the AI version. Scrapings visible in A show that Chopin considered even a double dotted rhythm: the last d2 was written as a semiquaver following a crotchet with two dots. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Chopin's hesitations |

AI has a dotted rhythm on the 1st beat, and no grace note before a crotchet f2 on the 2nd beat. In the main text we give the undoubtedly ultimate version of A (→GE→FE→EE). In GE1 (→FE→EE) the slur accompanying the grace note begins too early from the quaver a1. This imprecision was corrected in GE2. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in GE |

In bars 3-4 & 7-8 in GE2 the crotchets e and A were notated as if each of them belonged to two parts. This kind of pedant revision, justified in an orchestral score, is a needless complication in piano music performed by one person. A similar situation occurs in bars 25-28 & 31-32. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
