No mark in remaining sources

..

The sign added in FED, indicating the manner of synchronising the grupetto in the R.H. with the accompaniment in the L.H., means that the first 18 notes of the grupetto are to be understood as quaver triplets, whereas the last six – as normal quavers, as in bars 35 and 107. It is unknown whether it was the only performance option accepted by Chopin.
