Arpeggio sign & grace note in Afrag & A1

Tied grace note in FE1 (→EE)

Grace note & arpeggio sign in GE1

Grace note in FE2 & GE2

Both manners of writing an arpeggio with a doubled bottom note mean the same performance and both were used by Chopin (the combination used in GE appears in A1 in b. 80 as well as in, e.g. the autograph of Allegro de Concert, Op. 46, b. 138-139, 232, 236). In the main text we give the notation of the principal source, i.e. GE1. The remaining versions are erroneous: in FE1 the vertical little slur of A1 was not recognised as an arpeggio, whereas in FE2 and GE2 the marks were overlooked. There is a similar situation in b. 36 and 68.
