Saint-Saens Sonata: Have you seen the autograph?
He had the habit of writing the key signature at the top of the page
and not on subsequent systems. Forgetfully, some accidentals
are worryingly missing from the Durand edition - and the autograph

It is quite surprising!

All will be revealed if you buy Goergina Dobree's new revised edition
based on the autograph, published by Kevin Meyhew Ltd,
