In AsI the 2nd half of the bar most probably had 3 versions, out of which we give the earliest, written down in regular script, as the text of this manuscript (it is compliant with the version of the remaining sources). According to us, the text added then in a smaller, draft-like script contains a version used in the remaining sources in b. 180 and 192 and its earlier edition, written down as if they created one version. The existence of two editions of this melodic and rhythmic idea is indicated by the different size of noteheads and by the record, suggesting replacing smaller notes with slightly bigger ones (yet still smaller than in the initial record). category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Chopin's hesitations , Accompaniment changes , Main-line changes |

In the main text we give a version with e1 repeated at the end of the bar, introduced almost certainly by Chopin in the stage of proofreading FE. At the same time, we add a dot prolonging the a1 semiquaver, since the different values of the components of the a1-d2 fourth, neither musically nor pianistically justified, may be a result of inaccurately implemented proofreading corrections. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in GE , GE revisions , Accompaniment changes , Authentic corrections of FE |

Naturally, the version of AsI, written out twice, is earlier. In the main text we add a cautionary to this F; the accidental was also added by GE3. There is a similar situation in b. 198. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Accompaniment changes |

In AsI the last quaver in the bar underwent an evolution that eventually resulted in the version of A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB). The starting point was the version (written down clearly, in normal-sized script) that we consider the text of this source. It is very similar to the respective fragment of b. 184. Chopin then crossed out the f1-b1 fourth and added a double grace note (in a draft manner) to the 4th quaver and 4 dyads as in the final version, however, without marking the differentiated rhythmic values, which are thus to be interpreted as demisemiquavers. We give this interpretation as an alternative variant of the text of AsI. The attempt at the reproduction of the entire record of this place is included in the graphic transcription ("transcript") of AsI. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Main-line changes |

Chopin diversified the L.H. figuration in terms of rhythm and articulation in A (→GE→FE,EE,FESB). The idea must have been conceived before the place was written down in A, since there are no traces of corrections. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Accompaniment changes , Dotted or even rhythm |
