b. 158

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Arpeggio sign in AsI

No sign in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)
..

The AsI arpeggio may be considered an equal variant – it cannot be ruled out that Chopin did not write it in A, since he considered arpeggios on tenth chords to be natural and did not care for marking them. Of course, a differentiated performance of such chords, strictly according to the notation, is to be regarded as the principal option.
