  b. 93-94

In the sources we encounter a few inaccuracies and differences in the notation of accidentals in the chromatic sequence:

  • Before the last octave in bar 93 in A is present only to the top note, which was supplemented by GE and FE (→EE).
  • Before the 1st octave in bar 94 Chopin wrote in A a cautionary  to the top note (b1). GE added a mark also to the bottom note. In FE there is no accidental before this octave, yet EE contains both flats.

In addition, the deletions visible in A allow us to conclude that the 2nd R.H. quaver in bar 93 was initially written as c1-c2.
