  b. 20-21

Erasures and other traces visible in A demonstrate that initially Chopin noted the minim e1 sustained in bars 20-23 on the upper staff.  The laborious graphic alteration must have been undertaken to convey some vital information: that note, struck with the right hand at the beginning of bar 20, is then much more convenient to play when taken over and sustained with the left hand.
