Our variant suggestion |
The first quaver of the last triplet, c
1(2), may be perceived as strange, if we consider that the a-f sixth, ending the 1st half of the bar, determines the return of the B minor key, in which it is c1(2) that is a diatonic note. However, it is not obvious, moreover, the B minor key does not exclude the use of a lowered second degree. The validity of the assumption that Chopin forgot to cancel the flats from the 1st half of the bar becomes even more questionable if we take into consideration the interval structure of the 2nd and 4th triplets in bar 47 and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th triplets in bar 48 – at the beginning of each of them (except for the discussed one) there is a minor second. In this case, in the main text we leave the version of the sources, suggesting possible conjectures as alternative versions.
