b. 7

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

 in A

No hairpin in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

In FE (→GE,EE) it is hard to determine whether the lack of the short  mark written in A is a result of Chopin's proofreading or the engraver's oversight. In the main text we suggest a variant solution.

Staccato dots in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

No marks in A

The incomplete staccato indications in A were added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). What is interesting is the fact that all dots are also in AI.
