In the 2nd half of the bar, we leave the rhythmic notation of the sources, in which the roulade is written with semiquavers (except for the last note). This type of notation, certainly including a suggestion of performing it poco ritenuto, was used by Chopin on a number of occasions, cf. 2nd mov., bar 41 as well as e.g. the Prelude in D
major, Op. 28 No. 15, bars 4 and 79. However, in this case it is uncertain whether the notation is not only an unintentional result of extending the 2nd half of the roulade – see the note above.
