Notation in AsI & A (→GE→EE,FESB)

Notation in FE

The notation of FE, with the demisemiquaver going beyond the 3rd note of the semiquaver triplet (in b. 123, 124 and 126), is contrary to the Chopinesque understanding of this kind of combination of a dotted rhythm with a triplet – see the note to b. 45-46.
