The sources differ in terms of whether the bottom R.H. note should be repeated or tied: c
2 in b. 3-4 and 95-96 and g1 in b. 7-8 and 99-100. The version with repeated note is earlier: in AI none of the four places features a tie. In AF, Chopin added a tie only the last time (b. 99-100), perhaps as a local variation. However, GE ties the respective notes in all four places, a version which in these circumstances seems naturally to be the latest one, written presumably in [AG]. The absence of slurs in FE (→EE) does not testify to Chopin's returning to the original concept, since he could have forgotten about the this change while proofreading FE.
