In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 1. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in FE , Dedications , GE revisions |

The wedges over d and a 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 d 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. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The range and possible divisions of slurs in A are unclear. We suggest two possible interpretations. Perhaps it was the uncertainty concerning this issue that was the reason for the omission of the slurs in bars 3-5 in FE (→GE,EE). In this kind of rhythmically homogeneous, virtuoso figuration, possible breaks in slurs on the main beats of the bar do not influence the performance. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Inaccurate slurs in A |

According to us, the 2nd slur in bar 10 and the slur in bars 11-12 were omitted in FE (→GE,EE) due to the engraver's inattention. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |
