Original version in A1

Final version in A1, contextual interpretation

CJ & CK (→CB)

..

The initial version of A1 was corrected still in this autograph (inaccurately – the penultimate L.H. quaver, b, remained unchanged), whereas the sources based on [A2] already contain the changed version (regardless of the rhythmic changes). The version of EL may be Kolberg's revision after the analogy with b. 22.

Unslashed grace note in A1 & CB

Slashed grace note in CJ, CK & EL

..

In #A one can see that Chopin initially provided the trilled note with the value of a double dotted minim, whereas the c2 note ending the trill – with the one of a quaver. It was still in A1 that he changed it to a semibreve and a non-slashed grace note. Therefore, the notation of [A2] featuring a slashed grace note, confirmed by CJ and CK, may be considered the last stage of the process of delaying the moment of playing the final c2 note. However, the difference in the notation of the grace note does not have to be meaningful, since in the Chopinesque notation both versions can be equal.
