  b. 25-31

 in JC & EF

 &  in PE

Our alternative suggestion

In PE, the notation of the ornaments on the 2nd quaver in bars 25, 27, 29, and 31 is heterogeneous and taking into account coherent indications in JC and EF (four times ) – probably inaccurate. Therefore, for the main text we adopt the notation of JC and EF. As an alternative solution, we propose a possible reconstruction of Chopin's idea in [A]. After all, the difference does not have any impact on the performance.
