The vertical line in the symbol used by Chopin to mark the grupetto indicates that the bottom note of the ornament should be raised (cf. the Nocturne in D Major, Op. 27 No. 2, b. 7). As augmented seconds are not used in grupetti, it is almost certain that Chopin did not mean g1 to be formally altered to g1, but wanted to indicate that the bottom note falls at the interval of a minor, and not major second, which results in g1 as the intended note. FE (→EE) and GE did not reproduce the Chopinesque symbol accurately nor marked that the bottom note should be altered. In the main text we reproduce the Chopinesque notation in a contemporary form.
