The notation of accidentals is less careful in this bar. The oversight of the lowering g to g
in the group of 9 notes in the L.H. in A is a patent mistake; the sign was already added in GE1 (→GE2,FE→EE). In some of the sources, the missing
before the 2nd note in the L.H. on the 4th beat of the bar results from a different convention of accidentals' validity – in A Chopin deleted this sign, considering the
before the crotchet on the 3rd beat to be valid. In turn, the absence of flats lowering g1(2) to g
1(2) on the 4th beat in A (→GE→FE) is a patent oversight – the fact that Chopin must have heard the g
here is supported by the notes' uninterrupted presence from the end of bar 57 and by the use of cautionary naturals before G and g at the beginning of bar 64. It is only EE that includes the fully correct notation, consistent with the contemporary conventions.
