b. 4-12

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

 in A

 cresc. in FE (→EE)

GE
..

In the main text we give the  combination in the 2nd half of bars 4 and 12 on the basis of A, as nothing indicates that the visible in the editions changes of arrangement and, above all, separation of the hairpins from the verbal indication were performed by Chopin.

b. 4-12

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

..

In A d in bars 4 and 12 is a dotted minim. The mistake, corrected in FE (→GE,EE), probably stems from the original notation of the Etude in two-time longer rhythmic values. What is interesting is the fact that in bar 52 Chopin noticed and corrected this mistake while still writing A.

b. 4

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

d3 in A (→FE→GE,EE)

e3 in FED
..

A (→FE→GE,EE) has d3 as the 3rd note of the 3rd triplet, changed by Chopin to e3 in FED. Taking into account the analogous corrections made in A in bars 12 and 52, we consider this change as definitive.

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

Long accents in A

Long accent in FE (→EE2)

Short accent & dots in GE

Two accents in EE3 (→EE4)
..

We consider the marks written in A under the chords in bars 4 and 12 as long accents. Only first of them was reproduced in FE (→EE2). In GE the sign in bar 4 became a common short accent and in bar 12 both chords were provided with staccato dots. In EE3 (→EE4) a short accent was added in bar 12. According to us, only the version of A is authentic.

b. 4-12

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In bars 4 and 12 we give the pedalling added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). What is striking is the fact, if we trust FE, that in analogous bar 52 Chopin wrote different indications.
