Although the "nonchalant" chromatic notation of A – at least 4 accidentals in the R.H. are missing as well as 7 in the L.H. – does not lead to any textual doubts, it requires to be completed, which was already performed, to a certain extent, in the first editions. Taking into account the manner (different from ours) in the case of the R.H. part on the 4th beat of b. 35, the accidentals on the top stave were already ordered in GE1, including the addition of a cautionary to d1 at the beginning of b. 35 and removal of the unnecessarily repeated to b1 at the beginning of the 2nd half of b. 36. However, the notation of the L.H. part can be considered complete only in FESB and EE (different in both). In the main text we add R.H accidentals on the 4th beat of b. 35; it was also performed in GE3. See also the note at the beginning of the 2nd half of b. 36. category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations; Source & stylistic information issues: Accidentals in different octaves , Corrections in A , Cautionary accidentals , Inaccuracies in A |

As in b. 35-36 and 39-40, in the manuscripts Chopin overlooked some of the necessary accidentals, in this case only flats. AsI lacks a to the 14th semiquaver in b. 43 (g2) and to the 10th semiquaver in b. 44 (g), and A lacks a to the 14th semiquaver in b. 43 (g2) and flats to the 8th and 20th semiquavers in b. 44 (g1 and g). All omitted accidentals were already added in GE1, which was repeated in the remaining editions. In the main text, we omit the unnecessary repetition. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Source & stylistic information issues: Accidentals in different octaves , GE revisions , Cautionary accidentals , Last key signature sign , Inaccuracies in A |
