  b. 21-25

In b. 21 and 23-25 one can see crossings-out and corrections in A, which prove that Chopin committed mistakes at the time of writing similar bars of the L.H. figuration:

  • Chopin wrote b as the 8th note in b. 21, which he right away corrected to a;
  • the range of a similar mistake in b. 23 was already bigger – starting from the 8th note, Chopin wrote the version of b. 24 until at least the 12th note;
  • in b. 24 the last note was initially written as G (version of the previous bar);
  • in b. 25 the entire 1st half of the bar was written in the version of b. 24, which forced Chopin to cross out the 3rd note in the bar, add a new 4th note and to correct the pitch of 3 notes in the 2nd group of semiquavers.
