Semiquaver under last triplet quaver in A & FE (→EE)

Semiquaver after last triplet quaver in GE

At the end of bar 245, 247 and 249, as in bars 78-82 and 165-169, the GE notation is an arbitrary revision of this edition, contrary to the A notation and the resulting performance. It is noteworthy that in the third appearance of this theme Chopin wrote down the rhythm of the bottom voice three times differently than before, although the performance, indicated by the alignment of notes in both voices, is undoubtedly the same.
