  b. 557

No signs in A (→FC,FE)

Continuous arpeggio in EE

Simultaneous arpeggios in GE

Chopin must have overlooked the arpeggio signs, which is indicated by the arpeggios in analogous b. 553, 555 and 559. The composer overlooked the signs after changing to a new page of A. The arpeggios were already added in GE and EE (in EE continuous, like before).
