b. 67

 in A (→GEFEEE)

An alternative suggested by the editors

In A, the  is written at the end of the bar, after the 3rd crotchet. In the analogous bar 83 Chopin put the asterisk slightly earlier, under the 3rd crotchet. In this situation one may suspect that one of those two places was notated inaccurately. There are reasons to believe that the on its second appearance  the notation of that fragment may be more precise - this is indicated by better harmonization of the pedalling with rhythmic values in bars 80 and 84 than in bar 64 and 68. Still, not being absolutely certainty, in the main text we leave the notation of A in bar 67.
