  b. 29-32

 under 4th semiquaver in A (→FC→GE)

 under 6th semiquaver in FE (→EE)

 before 6th semiquaver, our alternative suggestion

The fact that the  marks are placed earlier in these bars may be related to a slightly different structure of the figuration and the closing nature of music, and hence could have been intended by Chopin. Due to this reason, differently than in b. 13-14, we keep them in the main text, although, according to us, one cannot completely rule out imprecise notation also in this place.
