  b. 71

in GE

No ornament in FE (→EE)

Our suggestion

Discrepancies in the marking of the note a1 in bar 71 with an ornament should be analysed with taking into account the analogy with bars 67 and 75. At the beginning of bars 67, 71 and 75 GE has ,while FE (→ EE) have  only in bar. 75. In that context both markings mean the same, yet it is not clear whether Chopin ultimately wanted to have  only in bar 75, or also in bars 67 and 71, therefore we supplement the musical notation with the sign  in parentheses.
