g, our alternative suggestion |
in sources, literal readingIn A one can see corrections to the L.H. part concerning 5 subsequent figures starting from the middle of b. 9. Above all, the change covered the final quavers of each of them – initially, they did not constitute the f pedal note, but, like in the previous bars, they were moving in parallel to the semiquavers opening the particular figures. It also seems that the middle semiquavers on the 3rd beat of each of these bars were the same as in the previous figure:
. The presence of corrections in both bars proves that the idea of the change occurred to Chopin already after he had written at least the entire fragment in which g is a tonal note until the middle of b. 12 and was written with indispensable naturals a few times. It could have caused an oversight of the "obvious" 
in the corrected 3rd figure in b. 9. Due to the above reason, we suggest this version, analogous to the respective place in b. 10, as a potentially authentic variant. See also the adjacent note.
