A possible Chopin variant, added probably with the pupil's hand in FES, can be interpreted in two ways, according to us. As the text of this source we adopt the most likely interpretation, in which the added note is supposed to be simply added to the printed ones. However, the slur may signalise which notes create an entire bar – a supposition supported by the undeniable authenticity of the version, included in As. See also bar 95, in which we discuss a possibility of continuing the variant.
