b. 55

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In the sources, the octave sign does not encompass the grace note, as a result of which, when interpreted literally, it is a b1 and not a b2. The notation of analogous bar 64 proves a mistake in the placement of the octave sign.

Small differences concerning the range of the  mark between the sources are insignificant in this context; it also applies to the differences between analogous bars. In the main text, we suggest a hairpin modelled after the first appearance of this phrase (bars 53-54) – it is likely that Chopin wrote the mark most carefully for the first time.
