Lack of the sign in EE may indicate distraction of the engraver, copyist (if it was a copy of A that was the base text to EE) or of Chopin himself, if it was another autograph that constituted the base text or if the dynamic signs were added by Chopin already after the copy had been prepared. Moreover, in EE there are no dynamic signs in bars 4-7. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |

There is no pedalling in the previous sources. While preparing the Etude for print, Chopin most probably would add indications in three Stichvorlage manuscripts, which is directly proven by GC (the signs are written with Chopin's hand), and indirectly also by CDP, probably reflecting the state of [A] before the last retouch and additions. Hence, the earlier pedal release in FE cannot be considered a mistake, as analogous bars 24 and 55 are marked in the same way. In the main text, we give the possibly later notation of GC (→GE) and EE – cf. bar 24. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

According to us, the absence of pedalling indications in bars 5-6 in GC (→GE) and FE does not mean that the bars are to be performed without pedal. The deletions of the pedalling signs, visible in GC in bar 5 (as well as in bars 33, 35-36 and 47-48) prove Chopin's striving for simplicity rather than the will to differentiate the performance, e.g., bars 1-2 (with pedal) and 5-6 (without pedal). Therefore, we consider the indications of EE in the discussed bars to be valid, yet due to their absence in the remaining sources, in the main text we give them in brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources |
