Chopin added the grace note in GC (it is written with his hand) and in the proofreading of FE (one can see that there was no space for it). The improvement was also introduced in EE2 (→EE3), most probably on the basis of comparison with FE. In all editions the sign has a form of a slashed, small quaver, which undoubtedly corresponds to the performance of this ornament, however, it is contrary to double – here and in bar 67 – Chopin's own entry in GC. In the main text we give the undoubtedly authentic notation of GC, as in the case of the slashed grace note in FE there it is uncertain whether it actually corresponds to Chopin entry in the proof copy.

Chopin added the grace note in GC (it is written with his hand) and probably also in the base text to EE.

Lack of the grace note is probably a result of Chopin's oversight – both in this and the previous bars a few elements, added by Chopin in analogous bars 47 and 67, e.g., rit. and an accent, are missing. Therefore, in the main text we suggest adding an ornament (in the form of non-slashed grace note) and cautionary sharps before the grace note and d category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions , Omitted correction of an analogous place |

In the main text we give an undoubtedly authentic complete notation of GC and EE (with the little slur and arpeggio). The versions of GE result from routine interpretation (GE1) or misunderstanding of the manuscript (GE2 and GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

The arpeggio preceded with a grace note is a very characteristic ornament for Chopin – cf., e.g., the Etude in A minor, No. 4, bar 63. It is almost certain that Chopin thought about this type of figure also in the discussed bar. The little slur added in GE1, changing the sense of the ornament, is certainly non-authentic. In turn, the notation of EE may come from Chopin (cf. bar 96) and we adopt it as the base of our, completed with the sign of arpeggio, suggestion of the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: GE revisions |
