Triads in As

Triads & sixths in AI

Sixths in A (→FE→GE,EE)

In the autographs the 2nd and 3rd crotchets in the L.H. underwent in bars 50 and 58 a clear evolution – the uniform version of As (with g-c1-e1 triads) was replaced in AI with a differentiated version (g-e1 sixths in bar 50 and triads in bar 58). In A and in the editions Chopin left here only sixths. Similarly in bars 114 and 122.
