  b. 22-27

Quavers b in A

Crotchets in FE (→GE,EE)

Additional stems for the b notes in bars 22-27 were added by Chopin in the proofreading of FE1. Together with the slurs in the L.H. added by the composer in bars 24-30, it clearly indicates the use of "harmonic legato" – sustaining harmonic notes with fingers.
