Rhythm
b. 159

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
The version of AsI, closer to the rhythm of the previous bars, must be earlier. In the main text we adhere to the improved version of the remaining sources. In the main text we correct the mistake (probably by Chopin) in the notation of the arpeggio, since it is unlikely that a wavy line in this position could have a different meaning. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Accompaniment changes |

As in b. 128-131, the fact that the bass line was not doubled an octave lower in AsI may be just a simplified version of notation. In A the doubled line was marked with con 8va, which was elaborated in the editions. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Bass register changes , Abbreviated octaves' notation |

In the main text we stand by the undoubtedly later version of A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB). Rhythmically speaking, it is also closer to the orchestral version, in which we can hear 4 quavers in the cellos and basses: . category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes |

b. 182

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete
..
In the main text we give a version with e1 repeated at the end of the bar, introduced almost certainly by Chopin in the stage of proofreading FE. At the same time, we add a dot prolonging the a1 semiquaver, since the different values of the components of the a1-d2 fourth, neither musically nor pianistically justified, may be a result of inaccurately implemented proofreading corrections. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE |
