  b. 36

 in Amar, GC (→GE)

No ornament in FE

 in EE

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.
