b. 60

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No pedalling in A & GE3 (→GE4→GE5)

Pedalling in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)
..

The pedalling of the 2nd half of the bar was added in a proofreading of FE (→EE). In GE1 the  mark at the end of bar 60 is missing, which was corrected in GE2, yet in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) it was again omitted, this time together with the preceding it  mark.

Fingering in A

No fingering in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Omission of the '1' digit over the penultimate note in the editions is certainly a result of distraction of the engraver of FE.

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)

b. 61-62

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Long accents in A, contextual interpretation

Short accents in A (literal reading) & FE (→GE,EE)
..

It is uncertain which type of accents Chopin had in mind. The signs in A, particularly the second, are clearly shorter than these in the R.H., yet in all analogous figures in bars 7, 15 and 27-28 A displays long accents.

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

No a1 in A

a1 in chord in FE (→GE,EE)
