b. 12

composition: Op. 28 No. 18, Prelude in F minor

Semiquavers in A (→FC,FEEE1)

Demisemiquavers in GE & EE2

..

Formally speaking, the version of GE is justified here; however, it is highly likely that Chopin wrote this group in semiquavers (like all the others) because he did not want to unnecessarily suggest a significant acceleration of movement. Such a notation is to be found in his pieces on a number of occasions – cf., e.g. the Prelude in D major no. 15, b. 4 and 79.

..

In A (→FC,FE1) there are no accidentals before the last semiquaver (in both hands), which, when interpreted literally, gives d1 and d. In FE2 was added, yet only in the R.H., where it is a cautionary accidental. GE and EE include naturals in both hands.

b. 12

composition: Op. 28 No. 18, Prelude in F minor

..

In A (→FCGE) there are no naturals before d2 and b1, since Chopin considered the previous accidentals before d3 and b2 to be valid. In FE (→EE), in which the first part of the roulade was written without an octave sign, respective naturals were added.

Chopin initially wrote here the same pedal markings as in the 3 previous bars; eventually, however, he moved the  mark to the end of the bar.
