In FE (→EE), the staccato dots in bar 31 were overlooked. The mistake was corrected in GE1, yet in subsequent GE,s, again one dot in each of these two bars was omitted. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

Chopin's fingering given in the main text – in bar 29 in the R.H., in bar 30 in the L.H. – was added in a proofreading of FE. It was also reproduced in GE, yet inaccurately – the 3rd digit in bar 29 was omitted. In EE Fontana completed the indications in the entire 8-bar section after similar passages in bars 1-8. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in GE , Authentic corrections of FE |

In the sources the octaves at the beginning of bars 30, 32 and 34 are briefly written with the digit 8. The exception is the D1-D octave in bar 30 in A. In FE (→GE,EE) its replacement with brief notation was certainly the engraver's decision, resulting from the Etude's densely packed text. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: FE revisions |

Omission of the slurs in the L.H. in bars 30 and 34 must be considered as Chopin's inaccuracy, as in bars 32 and 36 the slurs are present in A. Therefore, we suggest to complete the slurring on the basis of comparison with similar motifs in bars 2, 6 and analog. The additions – on a similar basis, yet with different results – were performed both in GE and EE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |

The slurs of A, interpreted literally, are certainly inaccurate. They can be interpreted as separated, as in bars 29-30, or as continuous, as in bars 33-34 (the 2nd slur, started too late, is certainly inaccurate, in turn, the 1st one suggests lack of division on the bar line). In FE (→GE,EE) it was the 1st interpretation that was adopted, which is graphically closer to the real notation of A. It is highly unlikely that Chopin proofread these slurs. In the main text we give preference to the 2nd interpretation, supported with the arguments following from the analysis of the slurring of bars 1-8 and analog. in the entire Etude. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources |
