f1, our alternative suggestion |
The main text is a version of the sources interpreted literally. Our alternative suggestion presents another possible interpretation of this notation, assuming Chopin's oversight of the 
. Assuming a mistake in a place that does not contain any errors is justified by the following conditions:
- the B
minor chord enriches the harmonic sequence in bars 18-19 with a clearly new quality, while the b-d-f chord was already audible on the 4th quaver in bar 18, as well as – enriched with a tie to g – in bar 19; - leaving out an accidental in this kind of context is one of Chopin's most frequent mistakes (cf., e.g. bar 31).
