Op. 2, Variations, complete
After Variation III, in A there is an earlier version of Variation IV, based on a different textural idea:
After having written down the entire piece, Chopin deleted this variation (without its final tutti) and added its new, final version at the end of the manuscript; moreover, he precisely marked the places in which the added text should be inserted. AsI retains the version deleted in A in an even earlier form, in which certain fragments were being developed a few times.
Taking into account the below:
- the different texture of both versions excludes any possibility of exchange of their individual fragments,
- the change entered into A, described above, is final,
we discuss separately the version abandoned by Chopin – see Variation IV, initial version. It is also there that the transcriptions – graphic and content – of the notation of AsI can be found.
