Chopin's Berceuse Op.57 for solo piano

on: May 17, 2014, 08:42:04 PM

Hello.

I have been practising Chopin's Berceuse Op.57 in D flat for my DipABRSM exam. It seems as though there may be an error in my sheet music. In my music, in bar 21, the fourth demisemiquaver note in the right hand is a B flat. However, I have listened to several recordings of the piece, and this note always sounds as though it is a B natural.

Please could somebody tell me whether the actual note is a B natural or a B flat?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Can I ask which edition do you use. Is it Schirmer's?

It's actually the autograph (ms sent to the publisher), and it's on IMSLP. (The first score there.)

Read Books Ltd. published the sheet music that I use. I hope that is helpful.
