b. 3

composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

No mark in FE (→GE,EE

Probable  in Ap

Possible long accent in Ap

..

It is not clear how to understand the signs shaped in the form of accents visible in Ap at the end of bars 3 and 4. Therefore, in both places we offer alternative interpretations. A similar problem appears in analogous bars 11-12, 38 and 39.

b. 3-4

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Slurs in A, literal reading

Slur in FE (→GE,EE

..

We present the literal interpretation of the slurs included in A, however, there is no doubt that Chopin considered this notation to be equal to one slur, as in bars 1-2. A similar hesitation, concerning the choice of space for leading the slur, is visible also in bars 41-42.
In GE2 (→GE3GE4) the end of the slur was moved to the beginning of bar 5, which is a patent error.

b. 3

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Dot in A (→FEGE1,EE)

No mark in GE2 (→GE3GE4)

In GE2 (→GE3GE4) the staccato dot was omitted.

b. 3

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

No  b1 in A (→FEEE)

Additional b1 w GE

The additional b1 note in GE is most probably a mistake. In A Chopin wrote analogous bar 35 too, also without this note.

Our suggestion

..

In Chopin's notation, the  marks which are not followed by  usually appear at the end of the pieces. In other situations it is mostly a result of an oversight, yet sometimes it seems that Chopin wanted to emphasise a performance of a given fragment with pedal but without a precise indication of each movement of the leg. This is the situation we are probably facing in this place, as the marks of a pedal depressed on each quaver could simply occupy too much space. In order to avoid any ambiguity, in the main text we add con. In the editions the pedal mark was omitted. Cf. bars 11-12.
