b. 175
The version of AsI fairly corresponds to the orchestral version, in which the 2nd and 3rd quavers are almost (in AsI) or completely (in the printed voices) identical, as far as the pitch is concerned. It was also in A (→GE→EE,FESB) that Chopin only complemented the R.H. chords. The proofreading of FE – undoubtedly Chopinesque – brought about a major change, and this is the version (the latest one) we give in the main text. An alternative proposal, analogous to the endings of Variation I and Variation III, takes into account a possible misunderstanding in implementing the proofreading corrections.
