In GC (→GE1) and EE, there are no accidentals before the crotchets, so they should read as c and c2. In spite of the fact that the version does not raise any doubts as far as the sound is concerned, the omission of the naturals is proved by:
- the logic of harmony – this and the previous triplet create an abbreviated version of the motif used in the progression in bars 109-112. In this abbreviated version it is then repeated twice in the further part of bars 113-114. There is no reason to resign from the semi-tone movement of crotchets filling the octaves in one place only;
- misleading chromatic orthography – change from d to c despite preserving regular notation of the octaves in the F minor key;
- signs added – probably by Chopin – in the proofreading of FE.
