Three versions of the accompaniment prove that Chopin would be looking for the best harmonic and rhythmic formula for these bars. The process lasted until the last moment, since the version adopted in the main text, with a sustained chord, was introduced by the composer only in the final stage of proofreading of FE (→EE). He also hesitated – in A one can see deletions proving several corrections whose final result was a version identical with the original one, written in As, whereas AI has a different text too.
