In As and AI the bass notes in bars 1-2 are written an octave higher than in the version prepared for print (in A one can see traces of corrections from c to C in bar 1). Lowering bass is one of frequently used interventions by Chopin at the time of elaborating original ideas – cf. bars 14, 32, 39 and 55, 65 and 81, as well as, e.g., the Waltz in D major, No. 1, bars 50 and 77. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Corrections in A , Accompaniment changes , Bass register changes |

In these bars As does not include the part of the L.H. at all. It does not seem that it would indicate rests, however, any attempt to add it would have been mere speculation. In this case, we leave these bars without text, as both the version of AI and the accompaniment eventually adopted in the published version may serve as an addition. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Incomplete sources , Bass register changes |

The change of c to C is certainly a result of Chopin intervention in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→EE). Similarly in bar 160. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE , Bass register changes |

..
We assume that out of two notes written in As at the beginning of bar 65, d is intended for this bar, whereas D – for bar 81, which, like the entire second half of this section, is not explicitly written in the draft. AI features d in both bars, whereas the version intended for print – D in both bars. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |
