In the version prepared for print, the first fingering numerals appear not until bar 12. However, during the lessons with Chopin, the indications concerning the fingering proved to be necessary already earlier. In the main text we consider the fingering written by Chopin in FES. In EE Fontana also offered his suggestion for bar 1, yet this fingering, avoiding the use of the 1st finger on black keys, diverts from the one by Chopin. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Annotations in teaching copies , EE revisions , Annotations in FES |

According to us, lack of the slurs connecting the upbeat with the beginning of bar 1 in FE (→GE,EE) should be considered – independently from the reason thereof – as inaccuracy of notation. An accidental omission of one or both marks could have happened both to Chopin himself in [A] and the engraver of FE. Cf. the note to bars 16-17. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The metronome tempo marking was added – undoubtedly by Chopin – only at the stage of preparing the Etude for print: in [A] or in a proofreading of FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Metronome tempos |

The majority of the slurs of AI is written inaccurately, without precise determination of the range, which is natural in a working autograph. Moreover, the intended range is generally easy to interpret and, on many occasions, such as in the discussed bars, it corresponds to the range of the slur of FE (→GE,EE). In the subsequent section of the Etude, where such a kind of substantial relevance seems to take place, we do not notify minor graphic discrepancies. category imprint: Source & stylistic information |
