Chopin's oversight of the sharps raising f to f
is supported by the following arguments:
- in all similarly structured bars – e.g. bars 9-12, 17-18 and analog. – subsequent odd semiquavers create pairs made of delay and resolution, separated with an interval of minor or major second; f notes would have broken this rule;
- introduction of a chord with a minor f ninth already in bar 57 would have unnecessarily anticipated the appearance of this chords in bar 59;
-
this type of oversights of accidentals are quite frequent in Chopin's works (cf., e.g., the notes to bars 11 and 75 and 46 of this etude, as well as to the Etude in G minor, Op. 25 No. 6, bars 7-8).
GE2 (→GE3) added cautionary naturals before these notes.
