In Ap the fingering includes 4 digits at the beginning of bar 1 (in the entire Etude Chopin wrote only 20 digits, mainly the same as in the printed version). In the main text we give detailed fingering added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). We discuss a few situations requiring a commentary in separate entries (bars 1, 4, 5). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The additional fingering, present only in GE, is probably an addition of the reviser, although, being undoubtedly correct, it could have been written by Chopin. Whoever completed it, he probably realised that only the a1-d2 fourth is the first two-note chord, in which there is a real possibility of using other fingers than 1-2. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |

Both Ap and FE (→GE,EE) include quite a significant number of performance indications. In the case of the version prepared for print, preserved FEcor constitutes a source of valuable information enabling verification of authenticity, and at times also placement and form of particular signs. In this situation, in the remarks concerning performance indications, we do not discuss CLI, which is almost entirely devoid of them, and in the places where a lack of particular indications in CLI is the only difference between the sources, we do not mention it in the remarks at all. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

In the main text we give sempre legato written by Chopin twice (in bars 1 and 5) in FEcor (→FE→GE,EE). In Ap Chopin was satisfied with legato in bar 1, which, however, seems to concern also the accompanying voice or even only the lower voice, as there are slurs over the upper line of semiquavers. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The crotchets in bars 1-2 and 5-8 constitute a significant change of the concept in Ap in the scope of the Etude's technical problems and its sound image (cf. the characteristic of Ap). As the version does not appear in any of the sources related to the publication of the piece – neither in CLI nor in FE (→GE,EE) – it seems that the prolonged articulation of the accompanying two-note chords appeared only as a transitional phase in the shaping process of the Etude's text or – which, according to us, is more plausible – as a one-time exclusive idea. See also the remark concerning bars 3-4. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Chopin's hesitations , Accompaniment changes |
