In A, there are visible traces of erasures before the grace note, yet it is difficult to say what was being removed. It could have been a different grace note, e1 or g1 (or even two grace notes). However, the very action of performing corrections in this place increases the chances that the grace note changed in GE1 is authentic, since it offers certainty that Chopin would consider different versions of this detail. Corrections were also performed slightly further, before the e1 demisemiquaver and over the stave, where a performance marking was removed.
