As in the previous four-bar section, accidentals in A (→FE) are written inaccurately – 9 sharps are missing. In FC Fontana added one of them, yet overlooked the before the middle note of the 2nd L.H. quaver in b. 47. A comparable number of deficiencies are to be found also in FCI. The oversights are obvious, and the majority of the accidentals were supplemented in GE and EE. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Errors of FC , Fontana's revisions , Inaccuracies in A , Errors repeated in FE |

In FCI there are no ornaments before the 4th R.H. quaver. Moreover, from the 2nd quaver on, the R.H. part is written down using two-part notation – melody in the top voice, while dyads in the bottom one. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Main-line changes |

In the chord on the 4th quaver in the bar, FCI includes an additional note (c2). The fact that it was crossed out in A proves that Chopin abandoned it only at the final stage of work on the Prelude. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A , Accompaniment changes |

In FCI the structure of all the accompanying quavers in b. 50 (from the 2nd to the 6th) is similar – 3 notes each in the part of each of the hands, hence c2 is present in all R.H. chords, while the chromatic step of the bass from the 4th quaver in b. 50 to the 1st quaver in b. 51 is not doubled in the bottom octave. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Accompaniment changes , Bass register changes |
