Issues : Accidentals in different octaves

b. 48

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In A (→GC,FE1FE2) there are no accidentals before the upper notes of the last two sixths, g2 and b2. It is a typical inaccuracy of notation of Chopin, which does not result in any doubts in this context. Moreover, FE1 (→FE2) has no  raising b1 to b1. In FE3 both necessary naturals were added, the same notation also occurs in EE. Only GE has the correct text in this bar.

A (→GC,FE1FE2) lacks naturals before b in the L.H. and b2 in the R.H., while  before b1 is written only on the 8th semiquaver (instead of the second). Those obvious imprecisions were corrected in other editions: in GE & EE all three necessary naturals were added (the  on the 8th semiquaver, superfluous after those corrections was only removed in EE), and in FE3 only the signs before b and b2.

We add the overlooked  raising to f in the R.H. This patent oversight was corrected also in EE and GE.

..

In A (→GC,FE) the  lowering e2 to e2 was overlooked. The accidental was added in EE and GE. All sources have a  (cautionary?) next to f1 in the same semiquaver. We omit this superfluous sign in the main text.

b. 57

composition: Op. 38, Ballade in F major

..

In A (→GC,→FE1FE2) there are no flats lowering e2 to e2 and e1 to e1, which is a patent inaccuracy of notation.
The necessary signs were completed in GE and EE, as well as in FE3, in which, however, the first of the added signs erroneously lowers g2 to g2.
