Small quavers in A (→FE,FCGE1)

Small semiquavers in EE & GE2 (→GE3)

Although the revisers of EE and GE2 used semiquavers in the group of small notes probably after analogous b. 25, Chopin wrote those notes as semiquavers also in the discussed bar – see the adjacent note. It cannot be ruled out that the change of semiquavers to quavers resulted from distraction at the time of copying this bar. Therefore, the version with semiquavers may be considered an acceptable variant of notation (actually, both versions indicate the same performance).
