The change of Vivace to Lento was introduced by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The tempo indication of this Etude is the most flagrant example of the change of concept in Chopin's pieces, although a few arguments prove that the actual deceleration of the tempo could have not been that significant as it is suggested by the transition from Vivace to Lento ma non troppo. Cf. bar 21.

No marking in AI & A

Chopin added the metronome indication at the time of proofreading FE. The value of crotchet in GE and EE is certainly erroneous – even with a quaver the tempo seems to be very fast and it has not been obeyed by the pianists for over one hundred years.

b. 1

composition: Op. 25 No 7, Etude in C♯ minor

..

In GC (→GE1) and EE there is no  returning f at the beginning of the 2nd group of semiquavers of the introduction, which almost certainly corresponds to the notation of [A]. It is a very typical mistake of Chopin – cf., e.g., the Nocturne in Cminor, Op. 27 No. 1, bar 83, or the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29, bar 71. The sign was added in the proofreading of FE, most probably by Chopin, as well as in GE2 (→GE3).

composition: Op. 31, Scherzo in B♭ minor

No title nor dedication in A

Scherzo à Mademoiselle la Comtesse Adèle de Fürstenstein in FC (→GE)

Scherzo à Mademoiselle Adèle de Fürstenstein in FE

La Méditation. Scherzo à Mademoiselle Adèle Fürstenstein in EE1 (→EE2)

Second Scherzo in EE3

..

A is devoid of both the title and dedication (it seems that the aim of the pencilled addition at the top of the 1st page is to identify the manuscript for ordering purposes). In the main text we give them after the complete version of FC (→GE), free from mistakes. FE (→EE1EE2) omitted the title of nobility of the dedication's addressee; there are also a few mistakes in her name and surname. Moreover, EE1 (→EE2) includes an additional, inauthentic title 'La Méditation.' The collective title page of EE3 omitted both that addition and the dedication; however, the Scherzo was marked as second.
