  b. 6-11

As was the case in the Prelude No. 8 in F Minor, Chopin assumed that the middle notes of the triplets did not require an accidental if a respective accidental had been written before a top-voice note placed an octave higher. In A (→FCFE) and CGS there is not a single out of 8 necessary accidentals –  before and in b. 6, g in b. 7, in b. 9-10, in b. 10-11 and a  before d in b. 11. The remaining editions added the majority of accidentals; however, none of them features a fully correct text:

  • GE1 added 6 accidentals – the  before in b. 10 and the  before d in b. 11 were overlooked;
  • GE2 added to them only a  in b. 11;
  • EE1 added 5 accidentals – the  before in b. 6 and 10 and the  before d in b. 11 were overlooked;
  • EE2 added to them only  before in b. 6 and 10.
