b. 9-10

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

Slurs in AI, contextual interpretation

Slurs in FE (→GE,EE)
..

It is possible that at the time of writing AI, Chopin considered the slurs in bar 9 as valid also later, in bars 10-11. In the main text we give the later and fuller slurring of FE (→GE,EE).

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

 in bars 10-11 in AI

 in bar 9-10 in FE

 in bar 9 in GE

 in bar 9 in EE
..

The hairpins of AI, leading to  in bar 11, is an earlier concept of dynamic indications. In the main text we stick to the version of FE, reproduced with minor inaccuracies also in GE and EE.
