The version of CDP may prove Chopin's hesitation, as far as the sound of the figures in the R.H. on the 2nd beat of each of these bars is concerned. While AI includes the final version, written without any corrections, in A, next to the final version, one can see the deleted version of CDP (in bar 23 written and deleted twice!).
