Both the sentimental title "Les Plaintives" and the description 7e Nocturne placing the Nocturne on the list of the works of that genre published by Chopin are definitely an arbitrary addition by the publisher of EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Dedications , Various titles |

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major
..
In the main text we give the title as adopted in FE and confirmed in the engraver's copy of several Etudes (No. 5-8 and 12). The title included in CLI, although earlier, is also authentic – Chopin himself described in this way one of his etudes in a letter to a friend – and reflects Chopin's pragmatic approach to the issue of the pieces' names (cf. the original title of Berceuse Op. 57, "Variants"). Therefore, it is hard to assume that the extended titles of GE and EE were something more than a marketing ploy of the publishers, which, after all, were gladly used also in case of other genres, e.g., in waltzes, in which the authentic titles were extended with different adjectives: 'grande' in Op. 18, 24, 42, 'brillante' in Op. 34, 'nouvelle' in Op. 42 (see also Etudes Op. 25). We also give this dedication in the version of FE (→GE). Its extension in EE seems to be rather an idea of the publisher who, however, could have agreed it with Chopin. Apart from FE1 (→EE2→EE3), the erroneous initial of Liszt's name (J) also appears in some copies of FE2 and GE1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Dedications , GE revisions , Various titles |

The fingering in bars 1, 4 and 11, as the entire fingering given in the main text of the Etude based on FE (→GE,EE), certainly comes from Chopin. In EE Fontana completed it in bars 2 and 8-10 with the digits describing the fingering indicated by Chopin in a slightly more accurate manner. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and the dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors.
