Ostinato quavers in AI, AIII & A (→FE→GE,EE)

End of trill & quavers in AII

Same as the four-bar introduction, also the eight-bar link before the reprise was materialised only at the stage of presentation autographs. Its second part, after the trill, features the most original, as it seems, form in AII. If the chronology of the autographs proposed on the basis of comparison of the texts is correct, it would imply Chopin's hesitation.
