A

b. 362
The missing G1 note at the beginning of the bar seems Chopin's mistake, as it is present in analogous figures in bar 360 and 364. One can ponder whether the unwritten note was supposed to be an element of the octave, as in bar 360, or a grace note, as in bar 364; stylistic arguments are not enough to resolve this doubt. However, the latter seems more likely – in A the gap before the 1st note in bar 362 is clearly bigger than the resulting from the density of notation in this part of the page, which could be indicating an oversight of a planned element, e.g. a grace note.
