No a in A

a in FE (→GE)

a & fingering in EE

Chopin changed the version of the last semiquaver in bars 2 and 10 written in A while he was proofreading FE (→GE,EE). Traces of this proofreading are clearly visible in both bars. What is interesting is the fact that in bar 2 A had initially another version, in which a was probably involved, although without the tie sustaining it to the next bar.

In bar 2 the added note a was provided in EE with a fingering digit '3'. We include it in the main text instead of the identical direction at the beginning of the next bar.
