b. 8-9

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major

Slur ending in A

FE (→GE,EE)
..

The slur of FE (→GE,EE) is obviously erroneous – the engraver led the slur to the end of the line, as it is in A. At the same time, he did not pay attention to the difference in the text's division into great staves: in A the line ends with bar 8, while in FE – with bar 9.

b. 8

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major

e2 in A (→FE) (literal reading)

e2 in GE & EE
..

A lacking  before the penultimate quaver is most probably a mistake by Chopin. The accidental was added by the revisers in both GE and EE.

According to us, the  combination, very rarely used by Chopin, is most probably an inaccurately reproduced   mark, which was used by Chopin on a number of occasions (e.g., in the autograph of the Etude in E major, No. 11, bars 17-25). Cf. bar 1.

b. 8

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

No fingering & slur in AI & FE (→GE)

No fingering in A (with slur)

Fingering written into FED

Fingering in EE

Our suggestion
..

In the main text we include the fingering added by Chopin in FED and the slur, embracing this group of semiquavers in A. In EE Fontana gave the identical fingering, marked in a more accurate manner.
