  b. 40-56

No accidental in As & A (→FEEEC) – f2

 in AI – f2

 in GE & EEW1 (→EEW2) – f2

On the last quaver of bars 40 and 56, both f2 in As and fin AI are written in a way that does not raise any doubts. It proves that while working on the Waltz, Chopin certainly considered two versions of this note. In this situation, leaving it in A (→FE) without an accidental does not allow interpreting Chopin's intention with an absolute certainty. In the main text, we assume an interpretation compatible with the valid norm, however, we specify the sound with a cautionary .

The version of EEC is certainly erroneous.
