While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin slightly reduced the Etude's tempo. Cf. changes of a similar nature in the Etudes in F minor, No. 9 and in A, No. 10.

Fingering in FE (→GE)

..

Three digits defining the fingering of the first passages of the Etude (based on one finger arrangement) were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In EE, Fontana added to them a number of next ones, developing the composer's hints, specifying, e.g., the places of crossing under of the 1st finger.

Our variant suggestion

..

The pedalling of these bars was added by Chopin during a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The editors have doubts whether the moment of the pedal's release in bar 4 was correctly marked (due to harmonic reasons). Therefore, we suggest to release the pedal slightly earlier. Most probably, the reviser of GE3 (→GE4) thought alike, moving the  mark at the end of bar 3.

Fingering in A

Wedge in FE (→EE)

Wedges in GE

Our variant suggestion

..

The wedges over and are a result of a mistake of the engraver of FE, who misinterpreted the '1's of the fingering. The first of them was removed in the last proofreading of FE (→EE), yet in GE it remained unchanged. In the main text we give the fingering after A, yet we leave the inclusion of the digit over to the performer's discretion, as in subsequent, similar figures (bars 4, 6, 8), Chopin did not once repeat it and it cannot be excluded that it referred to the original version of this fragment.
