b. 47-48

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Slur in GC, FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

Shifted slur in GE1
..

Same as in bar 45, in GE1 the slur starts from the beginning of the bar, which is an erroneous interpretation of the too broad slur of GC. In addition, in GE1 the slur is led only to the b at the beginning of bar 48, which is a totally unjustified arbitrary decision of the engraver. GE2 (→GE3) re-established the notation of GC, compatible with the remaining sources.

Dots in GC (→GE)

Wedges in FE & EE
..

We consider Gutmann's misunderstanding of the notation of [A] to be the most probable explanation of the difference between GC (→GE) and FE and EE. The same applies to bars 53-58 and 60-64.

b. 49

composition: Op. 25 No 9, Etude in G♭ major

No mark in GC (→GE)

Dot in FE

Wedge in EE
..

The missing staccato sign in GC (→GE) is most probably a result of the copyist's distraction. In the main text we give the dot of FE, as in a similar context at the end of the Etude, all sources feature a dot.

b. 50

composition: Op. 25 No 9, Etude in G♭ major

No marking in GC (→GE)

in FE & EE
..

The missing  in GC (→GE) is probably the copyist's oversight. It is also possible that Chopin omitted this copy, adding the indication in the Stichvorlage manuscripts.
