b. 4-6

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No fingering in AI & FE (→GE)

Fingering in EE

..

The fingering in EE was Fontana's addition. The fingering in bar 6 is contrary to the indications written in FES, probably by Chopin, in a pianistically similar place, in bar 20.

b. 4-6

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

Slur in AI

Slur in FE (→GE1,EE)

Our suggestion

..

Both lack of the slur in bar 6 in AI and in bars 4-5 in FE (→GE1,EE) may be considered as inaccuracy of notation related to the transition to the new line (such situations are very frequent in Chopin's pieces, e.g., in the Etude in F major, No. 8, bars 34-36 and 61 or E major, No. 11 bars 40-42). Taking into consideration the clear slur in the analogous phrase in bars 1-2, in the main text we suggest a similar solution, combining two slurs appearing in the enumerated sources. In GE2 and subsequent GE,s, a slur was added in bar 5.

b. 4-5

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

No slur in AI & A (→FEGE,EE)

Our suggestion

..

In the main text we suggest to embrace with a slur eight subsequent thirds, after the slurs written in A in both analogous places – bars 12-13 and 65-66. However, the source version can be deemed as complete.

b. 4-12

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

Short accents in A (→FEGE,EE)

Our suggestion

..

It is not entirely clear, which accent – short or long – Chopin had in mind in bar 4, while writing A. According to us, due to the melodic context, it is the long accent that is more plausible, yet it is worth observing that the accents in the L.H. in bars 1-2 are shorter from the discussed accent in bar 4. The problem is even more evident in bar 12.

b. 4

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

The visible in AI corrections reveal Chopin's original concept of the figuration in the part of the R.H.:
