No grace note in GC (→GE)

Grace note in FE (→EE)

Our variant suggestion

It is not clear whether Chopin wanted to have a grace note already in this bar – it appears without any doubts in bars 10, 22, 30 and analog. The ornament was deleted – most probably by Chopin – in GC, yet it remained in FE despite a few corrections and visible traces of development in pupil's copies. Due to these reasons, in the main text we suggest a variant solution.
