In this Prelude Chopin generally did not use accidentals before the top notes in broken octaves – see b. 1-4. In the discussed bars, the problem concerns the following cases:
- in b. 5 e
2, - in b. 7 d3 and d3,
- in b. 8 c3, c
3 and b2, - in b. 9 b2, b
2, a2, g2 and c3, - in b. 10, c3, c3, b2 and a2,
- in b. 11 c3 and b2,
- in b. 12 g2, f2 and g2,
- in b. 13 g2, f2 and c2.
Such a notation is in A (→FC,FE), whereas EE1, EE2, GE1 and GE2 added the majority of the necessary accidentals (17, 20, 21 and 22 out of the necessary 23, respectively).
