b. 21
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 f note. It is also GE1, EE (with a preserved G in the bass) and FE, which has F as the bass note, that have the changed version.
- While proofreading GE1a (→GE2→GE3), 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 F 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.
