Issues : Chopin's hesitations

Chopin decided to publish bar 7 – together with the last quaver in bar 6 – in a changed version with respect to the notation of As. However, according to us, it is uncertain which version was earlier, since the notation of As suggests that corrections were being made to the first version:
If all the above assumptions proved to be true, it would turn out that it was the final version that was entered first (except the enharmonically equivalent notation of the 2nd quaver in bar 7, g1 instead of a category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Chopin's hesitations , Main-line changes |

After preparing As, Chopin decided to forgo the note played on the 3rd crotchet.

The As version with a dotted rhythm in the upper voice was most likely changed by Chopin already in [A] (→FE→GE,EE). However, in bar 24, the first note (g1) was probably remade from a minim to a dotted crotchet, which means that in this bar Chopin changed his mind twice, ultimately returning to the first idea (minim). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Chopin's hesitations , Main-line changes |
