  b. 44-45

R.H. a2-d3 & d2-b2 (1 slur, contextual interpretation) in AI

L.H. f2-d3 & b1-a2 (3 slurs) in A (→FE→GE1,EE2)

L.H. f2-d3 & b1-a2 (4 slurs) in GE1a (→GE1→GE3→GE4→GE5) & EE3 (→EE4)

Same as in bars 42-43, in AI the entire dyad passage is performed by the R.H., while each of the next pairs is a repetition of the previous one octave lower. In this case, by deciding to divide the passage between the hands, Chopin additionally changed notes in four dyads foreseen for the L.H. This final version was written in its final form already in A (→FE→GE,EE).
