In these bars As does not include the part of the L.H. at all. It does not seem that it would indicate rests, however, any attempt to add it would have been mere speculation. In this case, we leave these bars without text, as both the version of AI and the accompaniment eventually adopted in the published version may serve as an addition. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Incomplete sources , Bass register changes |

In A one can see corrections of the bass notes in b. 13 and 15 – Chopin moved them an octave lower. It is quite a frequent change used by Chopin in the stage of refining his pieces, cf., e.g. the Prelude No. 11 in B Major, b. 13, Lento con gran espressione WN37, b. 1 and 3 or the Etude in A category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Accompaniment changes , Bass register changes |

composition: Op. 2, Variation IV, primitive version

In AsI the version of the 1st figure in the bar is adjusted to the principal version of the ending of the previous bar. Although Chopin added the later, final version of the last figure in the ending of bar 12 already to AsI, he did not change anything in this case. Therefore, it allows us to link both versions of the ending of bar 12 to the AsI version of the discussed beginning of bar 13. According to us, the incompatible arrangement of the broken chords (particularly in the L.H.) rather excludes the possibility of combining the initial version of bar 12 with the new version of bar 13. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Bass register changes |
