Two digits written in A in bar 4 are generally enough to decipher Chopin's fingering in bars 1-8. While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin completed the hints so that each of the finger arrangements used in these bars included the written out precise fingering at least once. We give this fingering in the main text. In EE, Fontana additionally expanded the indications drawn from FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |

The accents added in FE (→GE,EE) may be a result of Chopin's proofreading. However, according to us, it is more probable that they were additionally added by the engraver of FE, who either did not observe the change in accentuation or he considered it to be the manuscript's inaccuracy. Cf. the Etude in C major, No. 7, bars 54-55, C minor, No. 12, bars 2-4. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

Chopin's fingering of these bars had been already indicated in A, although the end of bar 12 is imprecisely described – the 4th finger on the 14th note does not follow from the previous arrangement of the hand. In a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE), Chopin added a relevant digit, however, it is uncertain whether he can be attributed the previous deletion of two '1's, over the 1st and 13th semiquavers. Considering the engraver's negligence to be a more plausible reason for their omission, in the main text we give all digits featured in A and FE. Both in EE and – which is much less frequent in the Etudes – in GE the indications of FE were completed at the beginning of bar 12, using Chopin's fingering of an analogous figure in bar 11. In EE the fingering of the 1st group of semiquavers in bar 13 was also completed. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Errors in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FE |
