The missing trill in AsI is most probably related to the different shape of melody and rhythm in the ending of the bar – see the next note. As in the case of b. 184, none of the sources includes a mark that would specify the sound of the trill's top note. The prevailing key in b. 184-190, F major, requires the use of e2, which in the main text we indicate with a category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Main-line changes , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

The starting point was the version (written down clearly, in normal-sized script) that we consider the text of this source. It is very similar to the respective fragment of b. 184.

We give the text written down in normal-sized lines, most probably initial, as the version of AsI. The slur over these three chords most probably also concerns this version – see the next note. Chopin then sketched a version in which the top voice is separated and provided with a changed rhythm; generally, it is compliant with the final version: category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Main-line changes |

AsI presents an earlier version of the ornament on the 2nd quaver of the bar. It is also possible that all the grace notes were added later, so that the original version did not contain any ornamentation. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Main-line changes |

1 fourth and added a double grace note (in a draft manner) to the 4th quaver and 4 dyads as in the final version, however, without marking the differentiated rhythmic values, which are thus to be interpreted as demisemiquavers. We give this interpretation as an alternative variant of the text of
