These 9 bars were written by Chopin on the bottom stave only both in A1 and [A2] (→CJ); CB also applied such notation. At the same time, all sources – including CK and EL, in which a few/several dozen notes and rests were added on the top stave – convey the general idea of division into hands expressed through the direction of the stems and arrangement of the rests. In turn, as far as the details are concerned, there are many differences between them, which, however, are of no practical meaning; some of them are simply mistakes or simplifications related to the notation of repeated figures. Due to this reason, we do not discuss them in detail, leaving a possible analysis to the reader. The version suggested in the main text is based on CJ; we only complement the notation of b. 37-38, in which some of the L.H. rests were overlooked.
