  b. 96-99

Tied chord without b in AI

Repeated, accented chords with b in FE (→GE,EE)

In AI the B major chord, accompanying the melody of the top voice, is played only once, in bar 96 and sustained to the first beat of bar 99. Therefore, there are no accents, visible in FE (→GE,EE). Moreover, this chord does not contain a b note. Interestingly, the deletions visible in AI reveal that the initial version was syncopated, which Chopin then abandoned while finishing the work on AI, but to which he returned in the published version.
