Quaver in As

Rest & semiquaver in AI & A (→FE→GE,EE)

On the 2nd beat in bars 3-4, 7-8, 19-20 and 23-24 As has two quavers in the R.H. In bars 3-4 and 7-8 the rhythm was probably written initially in AI too, Chopin, however, added there rests and semiquaver ties of the final version (it is proved by spaces between the notes).
