  b. 73-74

 from bar 73 (literal reading→FEEE)

 in bar 74 in FE (→EE)

 is written in A in such a way that it can be combined both with the chord in the 2nd half of b. 73 and the beginning of the roulade in b. 74. According to us, if Chopin wanted it to concern b. 74, he could have entered it there to avoid any doubts. Due to the above reason, we consider the interpretation of FE (→EE) to be correct, in which the indication is in force from the middle of b. 73.
