In A and GE  there are no dynamic markings at the beginning of the piece. In FC3 (→FE IE)  mark was introduced at the beginning of b.1; there's no reason to question its authenticity. Based on EE in the main text we present the marking in upbeat variant.

Our variant suggestion

..

In the version for publication the dynamics of the Etude remains undefined until bar 26. Although Chopin could have accepted this state of affairs, it seems right to give the hint written in A (in a variant form) in the main text.

, cresc. in FE (→GE,EE)

..

All dynamic markings in bars 1-3, 5-6, 9-11 and 13-15 were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). At the same time, it can be assumed that it was a change of the dynamic concept and not its clarification, which is proved by the parallel change of leggierissimo to brillante in bar 1 and reduction of the number of notes in the chords in bar 2 and analog.
