Chopin favors a certain way of resolving an inverse suspension (Wikipedia says these are called retardations?) for which I seek the correct name, if a specific name exists---for the combination of tension-note and method of resolution. This is for use in a project of literary fiction.
There's an example filling measure 22 (and several others) of Prelude 13 in F# major, and others at least in certain Nocturnes including (off-hand) Opus 28 #2.
The measure-22 example looks like this, with B# resolving to C#. It's in 6/4 and all the notes here are 16ths. A '.' extends by a 16th and a ':' by an 8th. The undercurrent is also 8ths.
B#.:::.C# E# D# C#.:::::
Neither this example nor the figure itself appears in JP Dunn's treatise on ornamention in Chopin, perhaps because it's always notated in explicit rhythm without embellishment.
What is this figure in Chopin called?
