  b. 162-163

Mark at the beginning of b. 163 in GC & GE2

No mark in GE1

Mark at the end of b. 162 in FE (→EE)

It is difficult to say which of the sources based directly on [A] – FE and GC – reproduced Chopin's notation more accurately. Therefore, we give the version of the principal source, i.e. FE (→EE) – see Rules of creation of the main text. The missing mark in GE1 must be an oversight of the engraver.
