  b. 15

Unslashed grace note in A (→FE→EE) & CGS

Slashed grace note in FC (→GE)

Replacing non-slashed grace notes – small quavers – by slashed ones is one of the mannerisms of Fontana as a copyist. As Chopin did not strictly observe the difference between both types of grace notes, in this case both versions of notation have the same meaning.
