In FE (→GE), the last quaver in the L.H. (e) was placed under b1 in the R.H., which does not correspond to the rhythmic relationship resulting from the even filling of the last three semiquavers in the bar with small notes in the R.H. It may correspond to the notation of [A], but neither the first publishers of Chopin's pieces nor the composer himself were always precise in this matter. Due to this reason, in the main text we place that e according to the rhythmic division, just before the 7th note of the roulade (g
1). In EE, the quaver was placed even later than in FE (after c2), which must be an arbitrary decision of the editor (we reproduce this notation in graphic transcription only).
The performance should be based rather on intuition than on the geometry of the notation or strict calculations of rhythmic proportions, since both the context and the very notation suggest a sense of rhythmic freedom in this place.
