Ending of the middle part in AI

A (→GE→FE→EE)

In AI, the middle part of the Mazurka ends in bar 22 with two crotchets c2.  The quavers b flat1, a flat1 introduce the repeat of the beginning. In A (→GE→FE→EE) Chopin changed his musical idea, lengthening that fragment by two more bars. See bars 20-24.
