Rests & F-f crotchet in AI

3 crotchets including F1-F in FE1 (→GE)

3 octaves including F1-F in FE2 (→EE)

With respect to the version of AI, in the published text the transition to the G minor chord in bar 73 was enriched by a chromatic bass sequence: F-F-G. However, the goal of the Chopinesque correction to FE2 (→EE) remains unclear – on the one hand, combining (with an added stem) the R.H. f quaver with the L.H. F crotchet prolongs the sound of f, which, however, is poorly audible in this register along with the prescribed pedalling, but on the other hand it also suggests that this f should be performed with the L.H., which could be regarded as facilitating the R.H. part.
