b. 1

composition: Op. 2, Variation IV, primitive version

= 58 in AsI

= 60 & other markings
..

In AsI, the variation – like most of the others – is not given a title or number, and only has a metronomic marking to indicate the tempo. There are two metronomic tempo values entered – 58 (in ink), which, as written together with the text of the Variations, we consider to be the text of this source, and 60 (as in A), added later in pencil, which proves that the decision to slightly accelerate the tempo was made before A was created.
