  b. 33

One can see a correction in A at the beginning of the bar – Chopin most probably deleted the crotchet e-g-c1-e1 chord and the fermata placed above it. According to us, it means that the final sustained passage was to be written as a common arpeggio (). Had Chopin wanted to both play this chord and perform the arpeggio, written in semiquavers, he would not have provided it with a fermata, which makes sense only in the last bar.
