  b. 37

No grace note in GC (→GE), FE & EE

More likely reading of grace note in FED

Less likely reading of grace note in FED

The grace note added in FED is placed inaccurately, so that one does not know whether it is a or g (or g). In face of such a significant doubt, we do not include this addition in the main text, particularly due to the fact that the most likely interpretation of the grace note – as a – indicates a way of beginning the trill compatible with the classical rule, which Chopin generally used, hence not requiring an additional marking.
