b. 89

composition: Op. 27 No 1, Nocturne in C# minor

GE (→FEEE): semiquaver after the last note of the sextuplet

Notation in keeping with Chopin's understanding of this kind of figures

..

We align the semiquaver on the 2nd beat of bar 89 with the last quaver of the L.H. sextuplet although in this particular context an exception to the general rule could be admitted. Only a discovery of additional sources—e.g. [A] or an annotated copy—could assist in establishing Chopin's intention more firmly.

b. 89-97

composition: Op. 27 No 1, Nocturne in C# minor

Notation in keeping with Chopin's understanding of such figures

..

In bars 89, 91-95 & 97 GE (→FEEE) moved the semiquaver in  beyond the 3rd note of the triplet in the accompaniment, contrary to Chopin's understanding of that figure.

The notation of FE, with the demisemiquaver going beyond the 3rd note of the semiquaver triplet (in b. 104 and 106-108), is contrary to the Chopinesque understanding of this kind of combination of a dotted rhythm with a triplet – see the note on b. 45-46.
