No accent in A

Accent in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

..

The accent at the beginning of the 4th group of semiquavers is included in FE (→GE,EE). In such a context it is not certain whether it was Chopin that added it during a proofreading or the engraver that left one sign too many "on the run". Cf. bars 9-10.

Staccato to L.H. in FE (→EE)

Staccato in both hands in GE

..

Chopin added the staccato dot over the chord in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In GE the mark was added also over the quaver in the R.H.

b. 89-90

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

Fingering in A

FE (→GE)

Our suggestion

..

The fingering in the L.H. was written by Chopin in A, yet in FE (→GE) it was inaccurately reproduced – lack of digits in the last group of semiquavers in bar 89 and at the beginning of bar 90 is probably accidental. On the other hand, Chopin completed the fingering in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), by adding the digits '1' and '2' in the middle group in bar 89. As all authentic digits complement each other, we include them all in the main text. In EE Fontana developed Chopin's fingering drawn from FE.

Fingering in A

FE (→GE)

..

The fingering of A is inaccurate, while in the L.H. it is certainly superfluous. In the main text we give the completed and corrected indications of FE (→GE).
