b. 2

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

..

In A there are visible traces of deleting the original version of the 1st quaver in the L.H. It seems that its notation did not go beyond the staff, it could have been, e.g., the F-c fifth.

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

Chord in A

Rest in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The chord which opens the bar in A is written without the  before the topmost note, which is an obvious oversight. Chopin resigned from this chord, while proofreading FE (→GE,EE). The traces of its deletion – along with the arpeggio – are clearly visible in the subsequent copies of FE. Cf. bar 13.

b. 12

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

..

In A there are visible traces of deleting the G1 note. It is unclear whether it was supposed to be a part of the G1-G octave or to be autonomous, instead of G of the final version.

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

..

We add cautionary flats before b and b3. The revision was already performed in GE2 (→GE3→GE4).

b. 25

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

B & b2(1) in A (→FE→GE)

B & b2(1) in EE
..

Nothing indicates that three naturals raising B to B and b2(1) to b2(1), added in EE could be authentic. The reviser probably relied on bars 11-12.
