Chord with e1 in AsI

Chord without e1 in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

The version of AsI with two identical chords on the 2nd and 3rd quavers in the bar must be earlier. In the main text we give a chord without e1 written in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB) as the 3rd quaver of the alternative L.H. part.

b. 159

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

2 quavers in AsI

Quaver & rest in A (→GE1GE2), arpeggio sign after chord

Quaver & rest in FE, EE & FESB

Quaver & rest in GE3, no arpeggio sign

..

The version of AsI, closer to the rhythm of the previous bars, must be earlier. In the main text we adhere to the improved version of the remaining sources.

In the main text we correct the mistake (probably by Chopin) in the notation of the arpeggio, since it is unlikely that a wavy line in this position could have a different meaning.

b. 160

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Triad in AsI & A (→GEEE,FESB)

Sixth in FE

..

As before, in the main text we give a sixth, introduced by Chopin instead of a three-note chord while proofreading FE. In this bar, it is also AsI that provides the alternative L.H. part (featuring the three-note chord of the initial version). In this manuscript, a three-note chord – D-F-B is also on the 4th quaver; however, F was eventually removed. See also the note in the next bar.
