Lento misterioso in CXI

A possible authenticity of the indications of CXI remains purely hypothetical – the only assumption can be a correction, visible in A, of the initial Lento indication.

b. 13-15

composition: Op. 28 No. 7, Prelude in A major

..

In A one can see corrections of the bass notes in b. 13 and 15 – Chopin moved them an octave lower. It is quite a frequent change used by Chopin in the stage of refining his pieces, cf., e.g. the Prelude No. 11 in B Major, b. 13, Lento con gran espressione WN37, b. 1 and 3 or the Etude in A Major, Op. 25 No. 1, b. 1.
