Chopin's Cantabile B 84 in B Flat Major as a Stepping Stone to his Op 9 No 2

As we see from the score, the left hand and right hand parts of this short Cantabile piece, is nearly the same as in the iconic Nocturne Op 9 No 2 in E Flat Major. So thus the Cantabile is a remarkable stepping stone to the Nocturne. Do you guys agree? Any more suggestions or additions please.

I mean sure, you could play this first if you want to be more familiar and comfortable with the left hand pattern that's also featured in the Nocturne. Never heard of this piece, wonder which one he wrote first.
