b. 127

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

4-note chord after AsI

Octave in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)
..

The full B major chord on the 1st L.H. quaver present in AsI was replaced by Chopin with an octave in both volte (in the final version Chopin abandoned the repetition of b. 112-127, but in A the 1st volta encompassing b. 127 is written out and deleted in such a way that it can be deciphered).

b. 128-131

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No octaves after AsI

Octaves in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)
..

In A the L.H. octaves are written in an abridged manner with the use of the con 8va indication. The editions explained the abbreviation. The absence of the indication in AsI may be an earlier version or a simplified notation of the obvious.

b. 130

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

No sign in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)

[] suggested by the editors
..

The dynamic markings in this tutti differ from the majority of the remaining ones, particularly in the discussed bar, in the 2nd half of which there is a short diminuendo (), absent in all analogous bars. However, such a hairpin is present in similar motifs in b. 96, 200 and 240, always preceded by a  mark. Due to the above, in the main text we suggest adding such a crescendo.

b. 131

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Trill without ending in AsI & A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB)

Our variant suggestion
..

As in bar 127, in the main text we propose in variant form (in brackets) the ending of the trill that appears in the 1st flute part in GEork (→FEork).
