The deletions visible in A in these bars and empty space after the most probably erased g1 note under the a2 quaver in b. 121, which was initially most probably a g2 (it did not have a ledger line that would cross it), reveal that initially the 2nd half of b. 120 and the 1st half of b. 121 were analogous to b. 118-119: . The missing mordent in this version allows us to imagine two scenarios of the changes:

Two quavers in EE is the initial version, most probably authentic. In FE one can see that the dotted rhythm was introduced only just at the stage of proofreading. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FE , Main-line changes , Dotted or even rhythm |

The separated a2 quaver leads to b2 in the next bar, thus creating a complete melodic sequence in the R.H. part (e4-a2-b2), alternative with respect to the line using the L.H. f4 (e4-f4-b2). Eventually, Chopin simplified the notation; perhaps he did not want to divert attention from the main line. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Main-line changes |

EE1 features the initial version of the 6th semiquaver, changed in the penultimate stage of proofreading of FE (→GE). The changes of the correction performed on the plate are clearly visible in FE. In addition, the changed note (b1) was provided with a cautionary , which we omit in the main text, since it is superfluous in this context. The accidental was also removed in GE; it is also absent in EE2, in which the corrected note was introduced probably on the basis of GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , Main-line changes |
