The traces of changes visible in FE prove that Chopin changed the enharmonic notation of the chord – c1 (with a cautionary ) replaced the original b1. The change was most probably followed by subsequent ones – the cautionary naturals before the c1 semiquaver in bar 436 and c2 in bar 437 were removed. All those accidentals are actually superfluous after bars 434-435; however, they prove that the B major key, present from bar 324, triggered the composer to clearly mark the return to the E minor key, beginning in the discussed bars. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Cautionary accidentals , Enharmonic corrections , Last key signature sign |

In EE and GC (→GE) there is before d2, which seems redundant. In FE the accidental was rather erroneously placed before f2. category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Errors in FE , Cautionary accidentals , Last key signature sign |

EE is most probably original. We cannot completely rule out chance omission of the chord elements written out on the bottom stave (a-h second is notated in the same way in the remaining sources). In the main text we omit the redundant cautionary before d3 as it had no practical application. category imprint: Differences between sources |

In A the only accidental before the 1st chord in the R.H. is the cautionary before e2. From the musical point of view, the version with d3 would be possible, yet a comparison with analogous bar 425 and a of d3 added – probably by Chopin – already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) prove Chopin's mistake. Chopin committed the same mistake in a similar context in bar 423. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Cautionary accidentals , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of A , Authentic corrections of GE , Last key signature sign |
