In the majority of the sources, the R.H. text on the 1st beat of the bar contains a rhythmic mistake. However, we give the text in this form, since it is impossible to say which elements are written incorrectly and therefore which rhythm Chopin meant. In the main text we give the version of AsI, since it is undoubtedly authentic, rhythmically correct and natural, both aesthetically and pianistically. However, as Chopin did not repeat the version of AsI, he could have wanted to change it then. The alternative versions are two possible reconstructions of a rhythm that could have been intended by Chopin. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

In A (→GE→FE,EE) the penultimate note is prolonged to the value of a quaver, which must be a mistake in this context. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Editorial revisions issues: Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

The triplets in the 2nd half of the bar are written in A (→GE1→FE,EE) as demisemiquavers instead of semiquavers. The mistake was corrected by GE2 (→GE3,FESB). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Rhythmic errors , Errors of A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

The wedges, added to the bass crotchets in GE1 certainly by mistake, were strangely consistently repeated by all the remaining editions. The source of the mistake could be the first crotchet stem, to f, which in A does not reach the notehead and therefore could have been considered a wedge. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in GE , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |
restoring a
2, which is Chopin's patent oversight.
