  b. 490-491

In A one can see in these bars 4 minor crossings-out. All concern cautionary accidentals that Chopin, after a moment of reflection, considered superfluous. The accidentals in the L.H. part –  before c in b. 490 and  before B in b. 491 – warn us not to play notes peculiar to the G minor key, which is going to be confirmed only just in the next bar.
