b. 46

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

..

One can see a crossed-out semiquaver rest between the last two R.H. notes in A. Chopin also combined the slurs that initially encompassed three notes before the rest and the further part of the motif to the a1 crotchet.

b. 60

b. 75-77

composition: Op. 28 No. 24, Prelude in D minor

No R.H. rests in A (→FE)

Rests in FC (→GE)

Rests & pause in EE

The rests added on the upper staff in FC (→GE) & EE suggest playing the three D1 minims with the L.H. which is almost certainly against Chopin's intention.
