The sound of the 3rd group in AsI is a puzzle in this bar. In the L.H. part, a repetition of the preceding figure is marked, hence a broken dominant chord in the key of B
major (the 4th figure is also marked as a repetition, which confirms such an interpretation). In the R.H. part the middle hemidemisemiquavers bear traces of corrections – it seems that Chopin changed the initial b1 and d2 notes to a1 and c2. Consequently, all 4 figures in this bar are identical in both hands, which is contrary to the characteristic harmonic sequence with a tonic chord on the 3rd quaver in the bar, present in the orchestral part (both in AsI and in the printed orchestral parts), the A text in this place and the text of all sources in analogous bar 4. According to us, we are most probably dealing with Chopin's mistake (cf. the first note in this bar).
