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. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions |

On the available photography of Amar, it is hard to state what type of grace note is written here. We assume that it is a common slashed quaver, which in the main sources is present, e.g., in bars 44 and 45.

Each of the source versions could have been intended by Chopin, yet only the authenticity of the version with mordent is unquestionable. On the other hand, the notation with the use of grace notes, present certainly in analogous bar 52, is clearly later. Taking the above into account, in the main text we suggest an ornament in the form of grace notes. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Errors in FE , Omitted correction of an analogous place , Authentic corrections of EE |

Chopin introduced a double grace note in the base text to EE instead of a single one appearing in the remaining sources. The analogous motifs, ornamented as in the version of EE, are frequently to be found in Chopin's pieces, cf., e.g., Andante spianato from Op. 22, bars 30 and 32 and the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bar 62. In the 2nd movement of the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21 Chopin used an identical motif both with a double grace note (bar 32) and with a single one (bar 81). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of EE |
