The sources differ in the presence of accidentals, which, however, does not raise any doubts concerning the text's interpretation. Considering the fact that Chopin and a part of his editors used slightly different rules of validity of the signs written with the use of the octave sign, we state that A is missing two necessary signs, a before the bottom note of the octave at the beginning of bar 37 (B) and a
before the 14th semiquaver in bar 38 (e
1). In FE (→EE) only the 1st of them was completed, in GE – both. According to the rules which are generally applied today, we also consider both flats in the 3rd group of semiquavers in bar 38 (e
2 and a
1) and a
in the 3rd group in bar 40 (c
2) to be necessary. Some of them were added in GE1 (the
of a
1) and in EE4 (
), while GE2 and subsequent GE,s include all of them.
