  b. 764

In A one can see traces of dilemmas concerning an indication – most probably related to the tempo – marking the performance manner of the next 8 bars. The deletions are quite careful, so we only managed to decipher the word sempre before the final piu mosso. The original indication could have been accellerando (with erroneous second 'l', like in a number of other works by Chopin, e.g. in the Impromptu in A Major, Op. 29, b. 25).
