The sources do not give reasons for concluding how the difference in the articulation in the R.H. in the 1st half of the bar occurred. The slur of GC seems to be added by another hand than the majority of the remaining slurs of the Etude, which suggests Chopin's intervention. However, it is only an addition, as the manuscript had not included any articulation indications in this place. The addition of the slur could have been related to the addition of accents in the entire first period, in particular to the three accents breaking the scheme in the discussed bar. Due to this fact, we adopt the slur of GC (→GE) to the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections in GC |

Lack of the fingering numeral in EE1 is probably an oversight of the engraver or copyist preparing the base text to this edition. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE inaccuracies |

It is hard to assume how the difference between the versions of FE and EE1 and these of FC (→GE) and EE2 (→EE3) occurred. In FC, the naturals introducing a are written by the copyist, which means that they were present in the manuscript, probably an autograph copied by Fontana. Therefore, the absence of these signs in FE and EE1 could be explained by their later deletion by Chopin in the base texts to these editions. Hence a regular, chromatic progression of minor thirds in the middle voices would be then introduced only in bar 54 as a kind of variation of the repetition of this place. However, not being certain if it was so – the versions of FE and EE1 could have been results of mistakes – in the main text we give the undoubtedly authentic version of FC (→GE). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in EE , Last key signature sign |

Before g2 at the end of bars 8 and 11, GE added cautionary naturals. It is most probably an editorial revision. The addition was introduced – probably under the influence of GE – also in EE3. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
