in AI & AF (→FE→EE)

 in AF is written at the end of b. 191; it undoubtedly concerns the semiquaver that closes the bar too. This is how it was interpreted in FE (→EE), in which the indication was placed – in accordance with usual practices – slightly before the semiquaver. This is the notation we give in the main text. The notation of AI resembles the one of AF, although the indication is moved slightly to the right. In turn, in GE1 the greater part of  is already in b. 192, which was revised in GE2 by placing the entire mark in b. 192, as a result of which it seems to concern only the crotchets in this bar. It cannot correspond to Chopin's intention, who would sometimes use a previous manner of placing indications within and not at the beginning of their scope.
