  b. 45-62

In As there are no naturals before d2g2 and d3 in bars 45-46. In spite of the fact that in the L.H. there is no  before das well, the pitch of these notes, intended by Chopin, compatible with later sources (which include naturals) can be deduced from the notation – the presence of sharps before g2 (bar 46) and d3 (bar 47) proves that:

  • the previous notes are g2 and drespectively;
  • Chopin considered here the sound of g2 and d3 to be more obvious than g2 and d3, which leads to the conclusion that in bar 45 he had to hear d1 and d2.

Similarly in bars 61-62, being in As a repetition, not written out, of bars 45-46.
