g2 & g1-c2 in AI

c2-g2 & g1 in FE (→GE,EE)

Having analysed the changes, we can say that by trying various combinations of g1, c2 and g2 notes, since the very beginning, Chopin had been trying to find both the best sound and the most comfortable piano grip for this figure. In the main text we give the latest version of FE (→GE,EE).
