FCI does not contain any accidentals in the R.H. part in these bars. The missing sharps in b. 7 and 9 are a patent inaccuracy (formally speaking, a cautionary in b. 10 is not indispensable due to the presence of corresponding sharps in the L.H., i.e. raising c1 to c1). Such an incomplete notation was probably present already in the lost autograph that served as the basis for this copy, since it seems unlikely that the copyist would selectively omit marks on the top stave (see also b. 16-17). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Omission of current key accidentals , Errors of FC |

In b. 8, 10 and 11, one can see in A crossings-out in the L.H. part, which was initially written an octave higher. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |

In A (→FE1) there is no raising c1 to c1 at the beginning of the 2nd group of semiquavers. That patent oversight of Chopin was corrected by Fontana in FC (→GE) and FE2 (EE). The accidental is also in FCI. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Accidentals in different octaves , FE revisions , Fontana's revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE |

It is unclear how to interpret the mark in FCI. Due to the abridged notation of the L.H. part and the manner of writing semibreves more or less in the middle of the bar, it can be considered both a whole-bar hairpin (the mark begins under the d2-b2 sixth, i.e. at the beginning of the bar, and ends close to the end of the bar) and a long accent (it has the right length and position with respect to the sixth). Actually, a similar problem can be observed already in analogous b. 5, in which, however, we consider the mark written in A as a hint on how to resolve this doubt. In the discussed bar we give both possibilities, since the absence of the mark in A does not allow us to directly support any of them; moreover, the mark in FCI is slightly shorter than the one in b. 5. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Long accents , GE revisions |

In FCI there are no naturals lowering f2 to f2 in these bars. It must be an inaccuracy of notation – see the comment on b. 18-22. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources |
