Issues : Accidentals in different octaves

..
In A there is no lowering g1 to g1 in the 1st triplet and no raising f1 to f1 in the 3rd triplet. What is more, the crossing-out before the first note suggests that Chopin crossed out the initially written (see b. 29). The accidentals were added in GE and EE2 (in EE1 only the ). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

The lowering e1 to e flat 1 is missing from both bars in GC and FE1. This obvious inaccuracy was corrected in GE and FE2. The flat occurring in EE in bar 15 may also be part of the reviser's corrections (bar 14 in EE has no relevant note). category imprint: Source & stylistic information issues: Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , FE revisions |

In this Prelude Chopin generally did not put accidentals before the top notes of broken octaves – see b. 1-4. In the discussed bars, the problem concerns the following notes:
Such a notation is in A (→FC,FE), whereas EE, GE1 and GE2 added the majority of the necessary accidentals (21, 18 and 22 out of necessary 24, respectively). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in GE , Errors repeated in FE , Errors repeated in EE |

As was the case in b. 3-4, in A Chopin generally omits accidentals next to the bass quavers if the accidentals have been written an octave higher next to one of the preceding semiquavers. In the discussed bars, it concerns G in b. 14, B in b. 15-18, f in b. 20 and g in b. 21. That notation was literally repeated in FE; FC repeated it almost without changes (the only addition was a next to B in b. 16). EE1 added the majority of the necessary accidentals – all except for the of G in b. 14, while the remaining editions contain a fully correct notation. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Fontana's revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE |

In A (→FC,FE) there are no naturals raising a1 to a1 in these bars. The accidentals were added in GE and EE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Errors repeated in FE |
