Crotchet & a-c1 in As (literal reading)

Crotchet & a-c1-d1 in AI (probable interpretation)

Crotchet & a-c1 in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Same as in bar 2, in the previous manuscripts there is no  raising a to a, which is probably an oversight. Notwithstanding the issue of the , in this bar we have three versions of the accompaniment, out of which the first and third differ only in the rhythmic value of the bass note (which practically most probably means generally a change of the way of its prolongation – implicitly with pedal in As and hand in A). Therefore, we can speak here of Chopin's hesitation, who in AI, written between As and A, wrote a slightly different version.
