  b. 79

e in A

e in GE (→FE,EE,IE)

e (with ) suggested by the editors

The  raising e to e added by GE (→FE,EE,IE) resulted from a routine revision, locally adjusting the L.H. chord sound to the g1-e2 sixth in the R.H. (cf. a similar revision in GE1 in the Etude in A minor, Op. 10 No. 2, bar 7). In fact, despite the temporary presence of the key of C major in bars 75-77, the general key is still C minor (from bar 73 on), while e2 is a transitory note. Therefore, in the main text we leave e, present in A, adding a cautionary  to this note to avoid any misunderstanding.
