5 quavers in FE (→EE)

4 semiquavers in GE

The notation of GE may be a revision or the original version, corrected in the last phase of retouching FE (→EE). In similar contexts, Chopin would use both the notation with a written-out first note of the ornament and without; he would also use, sometimes interchangeably, small quavers or semiquavers (cf. the Concerto in F minor, op. 21, the 2nd mov., bar 33 and 82 as well as bar 20 and 88). Therefore, both notations could be authentic, although in one of the mentioned examples (bar 33), the editor changed quavers to semiquavers. See also bar 523.
