b. 41
In the main text we keep the Chopinesque notation of the grace note as small, non-slashed quaver. The remaining source versions are inauthentic – slashing grace notes was a constant manner of Fontana, while overlooked flags are one of the most frequent mistakes of FE. After all, in this context, those versions are equivalent, since Chopin quite often did not attach importance to the form of notation of grace notes – cf., e.g. the Prelude No. 2 in A Minor, b. 5 and analog., or the Mazurka in G Minor, Op. 24 No. 1, b. 41.
