It is only GE2 that includes a natural before b2, the 4th quaver in bars 426 and 428; however, due to the use of an octave sign, we consider the sound of this note to be specified also in the remaining sources.

Differently than in analogous bar 426, there is no cautionary  before b in A (→GE1→FE→EE), yet there is a  before e1, unnecessary in this context. In GE2, a  was added to the . In the main text we give a more logical notation, used by Chopin in bar 426 as well as in two analogous places (bars 466 and 468).
The sources include a superfluous  also before e3 in the R.H. Cf. bars 413-415.

In A the notation of accidentals in this bar is inaccurate:

  • there is only one  before the 1st chord in the R.H.; moreover, it is written in such a way that one cannot be certain which note it concerns (we assume that it is d3),
  • in each of the triplets, a  is only before the 1st note,
  • no  before the bottom note of the third in the L.H. on the 3rd beat of the bar.

The necessary signs were added already in GE1 (→FE); however, the  before the bottom note of the octave in the L.H. at the beginning of the bar was overlooked. EE and GE2 feature the correct notation.
