The corrections visible in AImaz reveal that initially the topmost note of the 1st chord in b. 202 was g
1, which Chopin then changed to a1, tied from the previous bar. The final version features g1 again, which, however, was related to the fact that the next phrase (from the 2nd quaver) was moved an octave higher. The fact that in analogous b. 143 and 163 Chopin introduced the version with a tie only just while proofreading FE proves that he hesitated; actually, he hesitated to the very end of the creative process.
