The sources differ here in the notation of the 2nd half of the bar, which can reflect layout differences between the autographs. In the main text we give the notation of FE (→EE), in which the wave of quavers reaches smoothly the final written appoggiatura in bar 67.

In FE (→EE) Cadenza was printed with normal-sized notes. A similar inaccurate reading of manuscripts can be found in the Mazurka in C major Op. 24 No. 2, bars 70-88, as well as in the Scherzo in B major Op. 31, bars 281-284.
