Rhythm in A, probable contextual interpretation

Rhythm in FE (→GE,EE)

On the available photograph of A, the notation of the bottom voice in the L.H. part is difficult to interpret and most probably erroneous. The authenticity of the version of FE (→GE,EE) is also uncertain; it could have resulted from the actions of the engraver of FE1. According to us, it is highly unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to shorten the duration of the bass note with respect to analogous b. 45 – such a shortening is practically imperceptible, particularly when using harmonic pedalling, which is natural in this context. Therefore, in the main text we give a text analogous to b. 45.
