b. 11

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Fingering in GC (→GE)

No fingering in FE & EE
..

The fingering in GC (→GE) is written with the copyist's hand, which probably means that it was overlooked in this edition, which had [A] as base text – FE or EE.

We add a cautionary  before e2. The sign was placed in GE4 (→GE5), in which the revisers also added a  for e1 in the L.H. (according to us, unnecessary). Both signs appear in GE4 (→GE5) only the first time.

contextual interpretation of  in FE (→GE1);

In the main text we give the  hairpins on the basis of A. In FE1 (→GE1) they were reproduced differently the first and second time. According to us, the slightly longer sign printed the 1st time better conveys the idea of the hairpins of A and this is the version we adopt as the context interpretation of the text of these sources. It was interpreted in the same manner in EE and subsequent GE.

b. 11

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

Two slurs in GC (→GE)

One slur in FE & EE
..

In the main text we give the separated slurs on the basis of the undeniable notation of GC (→GE). However, it cannot be excluded that Chopin combined the slurs in the base texts to FE and EE.
