b. 12

composition: Op. 28 No. 9, Prelude in E major

No  in A (→FC→GE)

 in FE (→EE) & CGS
..

Chopin would often leave the last  mark without the closing  asterisk – cf., e.g. the Prelude No. 7 in A Major. Therefore, the mark added in FE, most probably by Fontana, almost certainly does not correspond to Chopin's intention. The presence of a  in CGS is one of many details pointing to FE being the basis of that copy.
