  b. 259-261

In the case of five L.H. octaves, Chopin put an accidental only to one of the notes in A. The following accidentals are missing:  (E) and  (f) in b. 259;  (F) in b. 260;  (C) and  (B1) in b. 261. All the missing accidentals were added by FE (→GE,EE); nevertheless, GE1a once again overlooked the  (E) in b. 259.
