b. 343

composition: (Op. 4), Sonata in C minor, Mvt IV

f1(2) in A, literal reading

f1(2) in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

f1(2), our suggestion

f1(2), our alternative suggestion

In A there is only a  to the middle note (a1) of the 1st R.H. chord, which makes us consider the outermost notes f1-f2. In GE (→FE,EE,IE) it was considered an oversight of the accidentals belonging to the current key (sharps to f1 and f2), and they were added. According to us, both versions are stylistically possible and could be authentic, hence we provide both, making it clear that the accidentals clarifying the pitch of these notes were added by us (in both cases).
