In AsI the 3rd hemidemisemiquaver in each group is b
. However, the manuscript bears traces of hesitation with respect to the pitch of these groups – in three of them, over the 4th note (c) one can see an added notehead of a g note, crossed out in the 1st and 3rd groups. Therefore, it seems that Chopin pondered replacing the final c note with g, yet he gave up on the idea. The A text, in which g replaced not the 4th, but the 3rd note in the passages (b) would mean that Chopin changed the 2nd pair of hemidemisemiquavers in these figures 3 times – he started from b-c, which he changed to b-g, then he returned to initial b-c, to eventually change them to g-c.
