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.

b. 4-12

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

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

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.

No fingering in A
