  b. 15-26

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

Notation in keeping with Chopin's understanding of this figure

In bar 15 in GE (→FE→EE), the semiquaver in the figure  was moved beyond the 3rd note of the triplet in the accompaniment, similarly in bars 17, 20-22, 24-26. This inauthentic notation, misleading for the performer, was used throughout the Nocturne.

See b. 5-13
