The version of A and of the majority of the editions with g2 as the 12th semiquaver must be erroneous – Chopin forgot to cancel the put to g2, the first note in the bar. This is evidenced by:
- g2 present in AsI; admittedly, there is no in that version, yet it is not necessary, since the 1st semiquaver in the bar is written down as f2, and not g2;
- a natural added to this note in FE, probably by Chopin;
- g1 appearing twice on the 2nd beat of the bar in the L.H. – if Chopin wanted to have g2 in the R.H. in spite of this, he would not have hesitated to mark it clearly.
