In A (→FEEE,GE1GE2) there are naturals before the upper notes on the last semiquaver of each group (b1). The unjustified accidentals were removed in GE3 (→GE4). Cf. bars 4 and 12, as well as 37-39.

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 dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See Etude in C, No. 1, bar 1.

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→EE,GE1GE2)

GE3 (→GE4)

Our variant suggestion

..

The pedalling of these bars was added by Chopin during a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The editors have doubts whether the moment of the pedal's release in bar 4 was correctly marked (due to harmonic reasons). Therefore, we suggest to release the pedal slightly earlier. Most probably, the reviser of GE3 (→GE4) thought alike, moving the  mark at the end of bar 3.

No ties in FE0 (→FE,EE,GE1)

Ties in GE2 (→GE3)

..

GE2 (→GE3) arbitrarily added ties to the eminims. This kind of spelling conveys more distinctly the idea of a continuous 8-bar long trill four-bar long trill Chopin certainly had in mind. However, in the main text we retain the unequivocal notation of the sources. Both notations mean the same, as indicated by the different authentic spellings of the 4-bar long trill in the Waltz in D Op. 64, No 1.
