a1 in AI & GE1a (→GE2GE3)

f1 in A (→CDP,GE1), FE & EE

Chopin changed the lowest note of the 3rd sextuplet in the R.H. twice:

  • AI has an a1, which in A was deleted and changed to f1. The change was somehow forced by the modification of the part of the L.H., in which Chopin renounced the note. It is also GE1EE (with a preserved in the bass) and FE, which has as the bass note, that have the changed version.
  • While proofreading GE1a (→GE2GE3), Chopin changed this note again, this time reinstating a1. This version also seems to be related to the modification of the part of the L.H., in which it was the note that became the bass one. We give this version in the main text, as it is the latest. However, Chopin was not consistent, as in FE – in spite of the change in the bass – he left a f1.
