  b. 31

In FES, at the end of the bar, one can see a poorly legible pencilled entry, probably performed by Chopin. The relatively distinct part of that entry consists of 4 notes; the stems of two point upwards, while of the other two – downwards. Together, they form a pair of dyads:  . The bottom notes are almost certainly f1, whereas the top ones are at a different pitch, yet both are on the 2nd space, which could result in a1-b1 or g1-a1 (g1-a1?). Indistinct traces of pencil can also be seen further, but we did not manage to identify them (they were removed?). We suggest the following reconstruction of the entry (in two versions); however, it should be mentioned that it is of a hypothetical nature:  or .
When the added small notes are performed as semiquavers – the first together with b in the L.H. – they refer to the semiquaver motifs in b. 22, 24, 25 and 37.
