b. 28

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

g³ repeated in AsI

g³ tied in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)

According to the editors, it is not certain whether the lack of the tie to g³ in AsI is a real variant or just Chopin's oversight.

At first glance, AsI has 4 demisemiquavers here, creating a diatonic progression as in bar 78. However, a closer look shows that Chopin later added the notes b¹ and c², transforming the group into the chromatic sextuplet known from the published version. The insertion does not suggest a final change, it is rather intended to note an alternative idea, so we adopt the original version with 4 demisemiquavers as the text of AsI. This version is included as a variant in the note below, pertaining to slurs.
