The notation of As reveals that Chopin initially envisaged c1 as the topmost note already in the 1st half of the bar – the repeat sign, placed after the written-out group of 4 quavers (featuring c1), was crossed out and inserted in front of it; moreover, Chopin added a new bar line before the crossed-out mark (however, the old bar line was not crossed out, as a result of which the space between them creates an impression of an additional bar).
