In FC (→GE1) there are no arpeggio signs in this bar. It is certainly an oversight of the copyist, which forgot to introduce the wavy lines on the new page of the manuscript. The signs, present both in FE and EE, were added in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Errors of FC |

Determining Chopin's intention, as far as the sound of the grace note chord in the L.H. is concerned, seems to be impossible due to the lack of visible traces of performing changes in the sources. Each of the three source versions can be authentic, yet each of them can be a result of misinterpretation of the manuscript by the engraver or the copyist, as determining the presence of the middle note in a chord written on ledger lines can be very difficult in Chopin's manuscripts – cf. notes to bars 73 and 111 of this etude and, e.g., to the Etude in E category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Uncertain notes on ledger lines |

The indication of the metronome tempo was added by Chopin in FC in pencil, hence in the last phase of preparing the Stichvorlage manuscripts for print. Differently than at the beginning of the Etude, here the composer added the indication only in this copy. In EE3 it was certainly added on the basis of comparison with GE. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FC |

In the main text we give sostenuto, written in FC by Chopin after deleting two other indications, including probably ben tenuto, which was preserved in FE. Moreover, the indication concerning the R.H. was corrected by Chopin twice – at the beginning he wrote another indication and obliterated it (perhaps delicato) and then he changed leggierissimo (used then in bar 81) to leggiero. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FC |
