In an earlier version, written down in AI, the entire bar is based on a B major chord, while the thirds in the melody constitute a delay. The final version replaced the melodic tension with harmonic one by introducing a diminished four-note chord as the chord leading to B major. See also bar 78.
Such a variation in subsequent versions of one place is to be found in, e.g. the Nocturne in D, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 9 (cf. also bar 33), and a variation used in subsequent phrases – in the Waltz in A, Op. 34 No. 1 in bars 25 and 29.
