b. 157

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

f-a-c1 in AsI

a-c1-f1 in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

In this and the next two bars AsI contains an earlier version of the alternative L.H. part.

b. 158

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Chord with e1 in AsI

Chord without e1 in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB)

..

The version of AsI with two identical chords on the 2nd and 3rd quavers in the bar must be earlier. In the main text we give a chord without e1 written in A (→GEFE,EE,FESB) as the 3rd quaver of the alternative L.H. part.

b. 158

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

Arpeggio sign in AsI

No sign in A (→GEFE,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.

b. 159

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

2 quavers in AsI

Quaver & rest in A (→GE1GE2), arpeggio sign after chord

Quaver & rest in FE, EE & FESB

Quaver & rest in GE3, no arpeggio sign

..

The version of AsI, closer to the rhythm of the previous bars, must be earlier. In the main text we adhere to the improved version of the remaining sources.

In the main text we correct the mistake (probably by Chopin) in the notation of the arpeggio, since it is unlikely that a wavy line in this position could have a different meaning.

b. 159

composition: Op. 2, Variations, complete

..

In the main text we add a cautionary  to e in the chord in the alternative L.H. part. Chopin used it in this context in AsI, in the initial version of this place yet based on the same chord.
