Versions in AI

Version in A (→FEGE,EE)

At the time of writing AI, Chopin was still looking for the best melodic continuation for the first, five-bar-long phrase. In the 1st half of the bar, after numerous deletions, he wrote two versions, out of which it was eventually the second one that was adopted, marked in this manuscript as ossia. The only version of the 2nd half of the bar was then changed in A.
