  b. 83

No accidentals before 15th octave in GE (→FE)

Sharps restoring F-f in EE

Our suggestion

In GE (→FE) there are no sharps restoring F-f in the 10th octave of the quaver group. The F sound would be less natural on both melodic grounds (augmented second) and harmonic ones (the key of C minor). Omissions of that type are sometimes found in Chopin’s notation, cf. e.g. Etude in C minor Op. 10 No 12, bar 18. According to this we supplement sharps in the main text. The signs have been added in EE.
