Faure: Barcarolle #5, Op.66 -- changing odd notes

The years 1894-1895 are special for fans of Gabriel Faure. In this period Faure composed 3 important works for piano i.e. Barcarolle #5, Nocturne #6, and Variations. I would like to play all of them and started with the shortest one.

This is my first Faure except "Dolly". I used the score edited by Kazuoki Fujii with several modification. I firstly found strange writings such as using B-flat note with accidental instead of A-sharp "prepared" for F# major. This is just a preference and therefore harmless. More troublesome is odd-sounding notes e.g. seemingly missing sharps (on d in bar 3), harmony trouble due to missing flat, and so on. I checked some recordings and was surprised to hear that most pianists accept the odd notes as they are written. I found an article written by Kazuko Yasukawa, a pioneer of French repertoires in Japan, advocating playing as they are written though agreeing that the harmony is odd.

Against all those advised from serious people I play it as I like - with modifications. Jean Philipp-Collard and some other pianists change some notes.

I met a similar problem to the one I met when working on Chopin. Music is basically conducted by the left hand and when playing slow all sound fine. However, I cannot make the same music with tempo. Another problem is that the first page is complicated with broad cords leading to a confusing rhythm structure. And the known problem of jumping melody line peculiar to this piece finally got me.

I started to attend a monthly piano circle where the members play the piano for about 10 min each. I failed miserably on "Eline" and on this one (Fazioli) also. I could not listen to my sound and became worried, stumbled and stopped. The pianos were Bechstein and Fazioli. I would be happy with Yamaha or Steinway. I should choose an easier piece.
