In A Chopin overlooked the to the bottom note of the 1st L.H. octave (F). The accidental was added by FE (→GE,EE). In the R.H. part A includes a cautionary accidental only to e1. In the main text we also add naturals to c1 and c2; they were also added by GE and, gradually, by EE – to c1 in EE2 (→EE3), only to c2 in EE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , Accidentals in different octaves , Cautionary accidentals , FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

In FE (→GE) there is a (cautionary?) to e3 in the 4th quaver. This unnecessary revision (the accidental is absent in A!) most probably resulted from a misunderstanding or a mistake when correcting another error – in FE one can see here traces of removal of g3 (printed without a , necessary at this pitch). Upon seeing the octave with a only to the bottom note, the proofreader – perhaps even Chopin – could have instinctively added the other , particularly if he were just adding flats to the L.H. part. Having realised that it is a Terzverschreibung mistake, he marked a change to the pitch of the note, which the engraver implemented by moving the notehead along with the .

In A (→FE) this bar is at the end of a line; therefore, it should be marked that the clef is going to change to the bass one. A did not do it; however, a corresponding mark was added by FE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: FE revisions , Inaccuracies in A |

The version of GE1a is most probably a mistake by the engraver, although one cannot completely exclude a revision – the cautionary to b, present in the remaining sources, is not indispensable here and could have been considered erroneous. The engraver or reviser of GE1a was similarly overly zealous in, e.g. b. 232. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: Errors in GE , Cautionary accidentals , Authentic corrections of FE , FE revisions |
