Grace note in FE

No grace note in GE

Grace note with slur in EE

Our suggestion

The lack of the grace note in GE may result from the inattention of the engraver. A sligtly bigger gap between the two first crotchets of the bar may be interpreted as the space planned to accommodate that ornament. However, this is not at all certain, as uniform spacing between the notes is not strictly adhered to in GE. Therefore we offer a variant solution. The tiny slur in EE is certainly a routine addition of the editor. 

A similar situation occurs in the Etude in F minor Op. 10 no. 9, bar 64.
