  b. 44

in AF (→FEEE)

Accent in GE

Chopin marked the transition to the B major section in two ways: AF (→FEEE) includes a  in b. 44 and a  in b. 45, while GE – an accent in b. 44 and mezza voce in b. 45. In the main text we give the markings of GE, which we consider the principal source; however, the version of AF may be regarded as an equal variant. Such a choice is also supported by the absence of traces of correction in the preserved sources, which may mean that a possible change of concept took place in [AG].
