Chopin's Nocturne 20
on: April 16, 2013, 01:26:03 AM
I am using Leon Erdstein's version of Nocturne 20 by Chopin and have this question:

measure 18 with the F double sharp (X) is correctly played as a G natural and not G#?

Yes. A double sharp raises the note by two semi-tones, so Fx is played as G natural.
