  b. 2-6

Thanks to the crossings-out and added notes in b. 2 and 6 visible in A, we can reconstruct the initial version of the last beat of these bars as  and . The idea of changing it probably arose when Chopin was writing b. 6; afterwards, he introduced a respective correction in b. 2. It is proven by the notation of an analogous figure in b. 10, in which the final version was written right away, without corrections.
