The visible evolution of the accompanying part generally consisted in an each time earlier introduction of the diminished seventh chord – in As on the last beat of bar 93, in AI – a crotchet earlier, in the version intended for print – already in bar 92. In both earlier autographs, the bars are an exact repetition of bars 76-77 (also in the melodic line); in turn, in the final version, Chopin clearly differentiated between the mood of the phrase's climax – for the first time, the diminished chord naturally introduces a D category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , GE revisions , Accompaniment changes |
