b. 16-17

composition: Op. 28 No. 18, Prelude in F minor

In A entire b. 16 and the 1st R.H. quaver in b. 17 were first written in an earlier version: . Chopin then crossed them out entirely and entered the final text, although not without hesitation (mistakes?) – in the later version the 6th R.H. quaver was initially written down in the original version (d²-d³), while at the beginning of b. 17 there was most probably an f¹-a¹-d²-f²chord.
