g2 in GE
..

Lack of the  returning g2 in GE may reveal the fact that the sign was not added until the last proofreading of FE (→EE). The sharp became necessary here due to enharmonic changes in the notation of the previous group.

b. 75

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

..

In AI the first 3 semiquavers in the 2nd half of the bar are written as f2-g2-f2 in the R.H. and f1-f1-f1 in the L.H. Chopin changed the notation in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). However, he left the sharps before f1 and f2 at the beginning of the last semiquaver group, superfluous after the change.
