b. 44

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Unslashed grace note in FE (→GE1,EE)

Slashed grace note in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The grace note slashed in GE2 (→GE3) is an arbitrary revision. However, it is uncertain whether the notation of the earlier sources indicates a different performance, since Chopin would sometimes not carefully differentiate between both types of grace notes, particularly in the case of small quavers.

b. 48

composition: Op. 22, Andante spianato

Grace note in FE (→GE)

No grace note in EE

Grace note & arpeggio suggested by the editors
..

EE include the original version of this place, completed by Chopin in the last phase of proofreading of FE (→GE): in FE in the place of the grace note there is a trace of removal of the  raising c2 to c2. By adding a grace note before the chord, Chopin would have probably meant one of his favourite means: arpeggio with repeated bottom note; however, there was no place left for the arpeggio's wavy line. Due to the above reason, we explicitly insert an arpeggio sign in the main text.
