in A

in FE (→GE,EE

..

We give the time signature after A. Although FE (→GE,EE) displays , it is, however, difficult to assume that the change of time signature was intentional if in FE the  was not used in Etudes even once (contrary to the manuscripts), cf. the Etude in C major, No. 1, C minor, No. 4 and F major, No. 8. The phenomenon also applies to other pieces, even in the most obvious cases, e.g., in the Etude in F minor, Op. 25 No. 2, D major, Op. 25 No. 8 or F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1.

In A of this Etude Chopin wrote only the following opus number instead of a title, which certainly does not equal the fact that he wanted to waive the name Etude used in the autographs of other etudes (No. 5-8 and 12). In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and the dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 1.

Fingering in A

FE (→GE)

..

In the main text for bars 1-2 and analog. we give the fingering written by Chopin in A (bars 1-2 and 5), as the lack of the 2nd digit in bar 2 in FE (→GE) must be the engraver's oversight. In EE Fontana completed Chopin's indications, adding digits next to each note in bars 1-2 and 9-10. According to us, the use of the 5th finger on the 8th semiquaver in bar 1 by Chopin suggests the 2nd finger for the next one and not the 1st one, as written by Fontana.
