  b. 46

 under grace note in A, contextual interpretation

under chord in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

The  mark in A occupies an uncommonly large space – from the octave at the end of b. 45 to the crotchet rest in b. 46. The pianistic sense – increasing the span of the final chord – requires that the  mark be placed under the grace note, which, however, was not performed in any of the remaining sources. In a similar situation in the ending of the Prelude No. 5 in D Major, Chopin wrote  clearly under the grace note.
