One group of notes in AsI

Triplets & quintuplet in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

The division of the figuration is an evident improvement of notation, since it corresponds to the rhythmically well-determined melodic and harmonic structure of the figuration. According to us, the change of slurring introduced in the last stage of shaping the note image of this bar explains why Chopin initially wrote down this bar as one group – he did not want to indicate rhythmic divisions, since the divisions of motifs fall on other places.
