  b. 24

In the sequence including the final version of the L.H. in bars 21-24 As has a g-b-fchord on the 3rd beat of bar 24. It is undoubtedly an inaccuracy, however, it is not entirely clear what Chopin intention was:

  • an a-b-fchord;
  • an a-fsixth – the g note could have been written as an inaccurate "correction" of the erroneous b.

Moreover, after the discussed crotchet Chopin wrote a small crotchet d. It is probably another alternative version of the 3rd beat of the bar in this version of accompaniment.

The variants resulting from the above analysis of As are given in the previous note.
