The arguments for adopting the version of CJ as the principal one are as follows:
- the very "Chopinesque" differentiation between three analogous b. 5, 13 and 46 – the ending of the trill consists in them of 2, 3 and 4 notes, respectively (cf. the reverse change, i.e. addition of a note in the ending of the run in b. 52);
- a possibility of Kolberg's revision in CK – the g
2 note could have been added later, which is indicated by the spaces between the notes (cf. the notation of b. 46 in this manuscript).
The version of the remaining sources can be considered an equal variant, particularly since it cannot be ruled out that in spite of the awkward layout, it was Kolberg that faithfully copied [A2] and Ludwika that committed a mistake.
In CB the grace notes are written as small semiquavers.
