composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

No  in FE (→EE) & GE

Our suggestion
..

We propose to add the  mark, as it cannot be excluded that Chopin omitted it incidentally.

composition: Op. 45, Prelude in C♯ minor

No marking in FE (→EE1)

 in GE & EE2

Our variant suggestion
..

The  sign is present only in GE and EE2 (in the latter it was probably adopted from GE). In this type of contexts Chopin generally omitted the sign at the end of a piece, while the publishers often added it. Therefore, we consider that the asterisk  in GE may not be authentic and we propose a variant solution.
