Arpeggio sign in GE, contextual interpretation

No mark in FE (→EE)

In GE the arpeggio mark is placed before the grace note, while in b. 288 (which in [A] is a not written-out repetition of the discussed bar) – before the d3-d4 octave. One of those versions of notation is therefore most probably inaccurate; we assume the more natural position of the mark in b. 288 to be correct. The missing arpeggio in FE seems to be an oversight of the engraver; however, it cannot be ruled out that Chopin entered it into [A] after Fontana had already finished [FC] (→FE). The least likely possibility is Chopin omitting the arpeggio on purpose (in any way).
