In AI the L.H. middle voice minims are separated from the chords; it was achieved by shifting the noteheads and by providing them with separate stems (from bar 92, since bar 91 is absent in AI). In the version prepared for print, Chopin gave up this idea, which could have confused the engraver of GE, who probably considered the missing tie to b in bars 93-94 a mistake. In the main text we suggest a compromise solution, in which we separate c
1 in bar 92 and b in bar 94, that is the notes whose rhythmic values differ from the remaining notes in the chord. In EEW this voice is separated in a more consistent manner, which makes it undoubtedly clear, but it can suggest that this voice is more significant, which was not Chopin's intention.
