Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Errors of CLI

b. 9-13

composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

..

The naturals returning a1, d2 and f2 in bars 9 and 13 are inaccurately written in some of the sources. In CLI they are totally absent, although in bar 13 the sign returning d2 is before the last semiquaver in the lower voice. In FEcor Chopin added them only in bar 9, yet, eventually, he also added the  returning f2 in bar 13 in FE (→EE2). In GE1 only the sign returning d2 in bar 13 is missing. The remaining sources have the correct notation.

Triad & third/fifth in CLI

The third on the 3rd beat in bar 10 in CLI was probably meant to be a fifth in the original version (Terzverschreibung). In the sources Chopin's hesitation concerning the placement of the cautionary  before c1 is also reflected.

b. 10-14

composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

..

CLI has the erroneous c3 as the 8th semiquaver in bars 10 and 14. In bar 10 c3 was initially printed also in FEcor, in which Chopin changed it to d3.

Lack of the  returning b2 on the last semiquaver in bars 10 and 14 is most probably an inaccuracy of notation of CLI. Chopin possibly wrote both signs already in the handwritten base for FE.

composition: Op. 10 No 2, Etude in A minor

..

In CLI, FEcor and EE2 the  returning d1 on the 4th beat of the bar was omitted, which is a patent error. Same as in bar 4, in CLI there is a superfluous  before g1 before this triad.
