No fingering in A

Fingering in FE (→GE)

EE
..

In the main text we give the fingering in bar 53, written by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE). In this and next bars, Fontana added a number of further hints in EE, specifying Chopin's indications.

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→EE)

GE

Our alternative suggestion
..

The pedalling was added in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The omitted  mark closing the pedal from bar 53, probably by mistake, was completed in GE. In the main text we suggest the same solution. The  mark in bar 53 is written in FE (→EE) under the rest. According to us, it is the notation's inaccuracy, therefore, in the main text we move the sign one quaver later. Alternatively, it cannot be excluded that according to Chopin's intention, the pedal should be depressed at the beginning of the bar.

b. 55-56

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

No slurs in A

Slurs in FE (→GE1)

EE

GE2 (→GE3→GE4)
..

The slurring in the L.H. in bar 55 was added by Chopin during a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). Lack of relevant addition in bar 56 in FE (→GE1) must be considered as the composer's oversight. The slurs modeled on the slurs in the R.H. were added in GE2 (→GE3→GE4), while EE repeats the slurring of the previous bar (see also the note to bar 56). In the main text we suggest the first solution, as undoubtedly more accurate – cf. bar 54.

b. 56

composition: Op. 10 No 8, Etude in F major

Two slurs in A (→FE→GE)

Four slurs in EE
..

The slurs of EE are probably the engraver's error resulting from different division of the text into great staves. The erroneous slurs were repeated also in the part of the L.H.
