In A the only accidentals in each of these bars are two flats before the 1st quaver in the R.H. All 9 remaining necessary flats were added already in GE1 (→FE→EE, GE2). All next passages until bar 479 are written in a similarly simplified manner – cf. bars 473, 474-475, 476-477, 478-479. We regard all added accidentals in bars 471-479 as a revision, although it cannot be excluded that Chopin participated, even partially, in proofreading works on GE1. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

In A, Chopin wrote only two naturals in this place – before the 2nd quaver in bar 476 and before the bottom note of the 1st quaver in bar 477. The missing signs before the 1st octave in the L.H. in bar 476 are the only case in the entire fragment in which the first occurrence of a note in a bar was not marked correctly. It probably indicates that the part of the L.H. was written after the passages in the R.H., hence the first b Chopin encountered while writing was the 2nd quaver, written on the bottom stave.
