  b. 40

In A Chopin probably changed the rhythm of the last two notes from quavers to a dotted rhythm. The correction is evidenced by the evenly spaced notes (the gap between the 1st and the 2nd notes is even slightly greater than between the 2nd and 3rd) as well as by the semiquaver beam, placed too low and clumsily, which suggests that it was added later. Similar corrections were probably introduced also into further bars – see b. 44-53.
