  b. 88

GE (→FE→EE): semiquaver after the last note of the triplet

Notation in keeping with Chopin's understanding of this figure

In bar 88 in GE (→FE→EE) the semiquaver in  was moved beyond the 3rd note of the triplet in the accompaniment. This inauthentic, misleading notation was used throughout the Nocturne.

See bars 5-13.
