Convergent arpeggio in A |
In the principal AsI version, the last bar of this variation does not differ from the previous ones in terms of texture. However, on the adjacent staves, an idea for a new ending was drafted. What is more, Chopin introduced there a correction to the first L.H. triplet: B1-D-F (as in A) was changed to B1-F-B, resulting in – assuming that the passage should be performed with pedal, which is quite obvious – a more harmonised sound of the whole. It is difficult to say why Chopin did not include this correction in A; nevertheless, we consider both versions to be equal.
