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

B-d1 in A (→#Wn→#Wf,#Ww) & EE2

B-b in EE1
..

The version of EE1 with an octave as the last crotchet of the bar is certainly erroneous and has been corrected in EE2.

b. 105

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

..

In A Chopin wrote a  raising a to a only just before the last chord in this bar. The mistake remained unnoticed in the majority of the editions – the necessary accidental to the 2nd crotchet was added only in FE. In the main text we include this addition and put the  to the 4th crotchet (unnecessary in this situation) at the pitch of c1 as a cautionary accidental.
In addition, all sources feature a  to a1 on the 6th R.H. quaver (unnecessarily repeated), which we omit in the main text.
