  b. 27-28

c2 repeated in As & A (→FE→EE,GE1no2,GE1op→GE2op→GE3op)

c2 tied in AI, FED & GE2no2

The sources illustrate here Chopin's hesitation – c2 is repeated in As and A (→FE→EE,GE; except for GE2no2), yet it is sustained in AI and FED. In the main text, we give the version of the base source, i.e. A, particularly considering the fact that in the autograph Chopin most probably deleted the tie sustaining this note. Cf. also bars 29-30.
