Fingering in A

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.

Four dots in A & GE1

In FE (→EE), the staccato dots in bar 31 were overlooked. The mistake was corrected in GE1, yet in subsequent GE,s, again one dot in each of these two bars was omitted.

No fingering in A

Fingering in FE

..

Chopin's fingering given in the main text – in bar 29 in the R.H., in bar 30 in the L.H. – was added in a proofreading of FE. It was also reproduced in GE, yet inaccurately – the 3rd digit in bar 29 was omitted. In EE Fontana completed the indications in the entire 8-bar section after similar passages in bars 1-8.

c3 in GE1 (→GE2)

..

In A (→FE) there is no accidental before the 4th semiquaver. There is no reason to doubt that it is a typical of Chopin inaccuracy, resulting from the rules of validity of the accidentals, which in fact were not fully established in Chopin's notation. It is confirmed by the  written in this place in FED. In spite of this, in GE1 (→GE2) there is a  before this note, which is certainly a mistake.
