  b. 3-4

In the first part of both bars, one can see crossings-out in the R.H. part in A. In b. 3 the correction most probably concerned rhythm – it seems that Chopin started writing the first two notes as a dotted quaver and a semiquaver. The crossings-out in the 1st half of b. 4 could have concerned two rests (a crotchet rest and a quaver one). It would mean that the dotted d1 crotchet and the tie that reaches it were added later. Traces of such minor rhythmic changes can also be seen later on, see, e.g. b. 5 and 8.
