The eight-note figure filling the 3rd quaver of the bar was written in A by Chopin as a demisemiquaver septuplet. The patent mistake was partially corrected in GE2, by writing it as an octuplet of demisemiquavers. According to us, there are no reasons for such an atypical notation, hence we replace the septuplet with a regular group of hemidemisemiquavers. In FE (→EE) the second note was overlooked, which removed the incompatibility of the notation with the actual state.
