Given g in the previous and next bars, we may assume that also the middle note of the chord in the second half of b. 25 was intended by Chopin to be g and he must have overlooked . However, the g version is no less musically satisfactory, and so, assuming Chopin did not make a mistake, we provide this version for the main text.

b. 217

composition: Op. 42, Waltz in A♭ major

..

In the entire bar FE0 (→FE,FEG) has only two cautionary accidentals: a  lowering g2 to g2 on the 3rd quaver and a  raising a1 to a1 in the L.H. Out of three undoubtedly overlooked signs in the R.H., it is the lack of the  raising a1 to a1 at the beginning of the bar that is most striking; the accidental was added in pencil in FED, it was also added in GE and EE. In both editions a  was added also before the last quaver, yet the fully correct notation is only in GE.
