  b. 97-98

Repeated chord in As (→A→FE→EE,GE1op,GE1Ab)

Tied chord in GE2op (→GE3op)

Sustaining the chord at the transition between the bars is certainly an arbitrary revision of GE2op (→GE3op), introduced by analogy to identical bars 93-94. Both autographs prove that Chopin considered the version of bars 93-94 to be a one-off rhythmic diversification of the four-time repeated scheme.
