b. 126

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

e1-a1 after AsI

a1-c2 in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)
..

The version of AsI is the initial version of this place. In the final one, Chopin raised the position of the 2nd and 3rd L.H. quavers and simplified the excessively precise rhythmic notation of the 2nd half of the bar in which both notes have the value of semiquavers complemented with rests.

b. 126

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Quaver a2 after AsI

Semiquaver a2 in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)
..

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.
