  b. 302-304

In bars 302 and 304, Chopin placed a natural before the b2 crotchet in A (→GE1→FE→EE). In the main text we omit those superfluous signs. The naturals were removed also in GE2. The signs reveal Chopin's way of thinking, considering the top and bottom voices independently – cf. the 3rd mov. of the Concerto, bar 422.
