Quaver b1, no grace notes in AsI

Crotchet b1, grace notes in remaining sources

The version with the quaver b1 and without the grace notes ending the trill is written twice in AsI, in the main sequence of the score and in the first measure of the solo part, written next to the new version of the orchestral introduction. Chopin later marked the grace notes in the main sequence, but there is no indication that at this stage he also planned to extend the trill to the value of a crotchet.
