In A (→FE,EE1), there is no accidental to f1(2), the 1st quaver in b. 45 and 47. It made the reviser of GE, and then also of EE2 (→EE3), to consider it Chopin's mistake and to add a to each of those notes. To avoid any doubts, in the main text we add cautionary naturals to them, in spite of the fact that there are no f notes in the preceding bars. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals |

At the beginning of b. 45 and 47, one can see deletions and corrections in the L.H. part in A. On the basis thereof, we can read the initial version of b. 45: . The change of the bass note from g to f is also visible in b. 47; however, there was no change to the rhythm there – the a1 minim was a syncopation from the very beginning. One can ponder why Chopin forwent rhythmic variants in these bars – according to us, the reason could have been the need to accentuate the 2nd crotchet in the bar in b. 45 as well to keep the rhythm cohesive with the previous bars. category imprint: Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Corrections in A , Deletions in A |
