  b. 81

Minim in As, literal reading

Minim with grace note in AI

Crotchets, f2 tied in A, GE & EEW2

Crotchets, f2 repeated in FE (→EEC,EEW1)

In As, in which the second half of this section (bars 81-96) is written only in the form of alternative versions of the first one (bars 65-80), the bar is to be interpreted as identical to bar 65 (except for the bass note at the beginning). However, it cannot be excluded that it is an inaccuracy of notation and that Chopin provided there for a version with an a1 grace note, like it is in AI.
The slurring is discussed in the adjacent note.
