Our alternative suggestion |
This four-quaver motif, which opens the Sonata, appears in the entire movement 10 more times (bars 1-2, 5, 7, 92, 94, 179-180, 183 and 185), always accompanied by 
or 
on the 1st note. This makes us assume that one of these marks could have been overlooked in the discussed bar (cf. bar 62). However, the absence of an ornament is inconspicuous here, and Chopin could have been thinking of clearly putting the chords introducing the key of A
in bars 89-90 (both marked with 
) or of avoiding three ornaments in a row (bar 90, 92 and 94) in a very similar context. In this situation in the main text we leave the version of the sources; as an alternative solution we suggest the version featuring an ornament.
