b. 191-195

composition: Op. 12, Variations in B♭ major

..

In the G passages in bar 191, 193 and 195 a number of flats to g and d tones are missing in FE – out of the 6 accidentals that should be in each of these bars, in FE there are only the first two in bar 191, the first three in bar 193 and the 2nd and the 3rd one in bar 195. In bar 191 and 195 the notation is incomplete even if we assumed that an accidental is valid at a given pitch both in the presence of an octave sign and without it. Nevertheless, the text is perfectly obvious, hence in GE and EE a  was added only at the beginning of bar 195 (d3). Similar deficiencies are to be found in bar 192, 194 and 196.
