Renouncement of the b
semiquaver in the final version finalises the changes whose trace is visible in the deletions of AI:
- originally, the passage in the R.H. started with an a1, while the remaining elements of the ninth chord were in the part of the L.H.;
-
starting the passage with b1 caused a doubled third of the dominant chord, which Chopin did not like and which he eventually avoided by deleting b.
The four bottom notes of the chord of AI are written as semibreves.
