  b. 11-13

In As one can see traces of corrections of the bottom note of the 2nd quaver in the 1st L.H. group in b. 11 and 13 and in the 2nd group in b. 12 (the remaining three groups of quavers are not written out in those bars). Chopin hesitated whether to write it as c or d. According to us, the corrections resulted in d in b. 11-12 and c in b. 13, and this is the notation we give as the text of As. It is worth noting that in both groups in b. 14 c was the first choice, hence it was not a result of corrections. In addition, while preparing a clean draft, Chopin opted for c in all those places.
