b. 12

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

Long accent in Ap & FEcor

 in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

In the main text we give a long accent on the basis of Ap and a handwritten Chopin's entry in FEcor. The engraver of FE (→GE,EE) totally misunderstood Chopin's sign, reproducing it as  for the entire 2nd beat of the bar.

b. 12

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

No mark in CLI & FE (→GE,EE) 

Probable  in Ap

Possible long accent in Ap
..

Same as in analogous bars 3-4, we propose an alternative interpretation of the short  sign, resembling an accent, visible in Ap at the end of bar 12. A similar problem appears also in bars 11, 38 and 39.

b. 13-14

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

No signs in CLI & FE (→GE,EE) 

  in Ap
..

The   pair of the signs in Ap may be considered as an addition to the dynamic markings in FE (→GE,EE) in bars 9-10 and 15.

b. 15-16

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

..

The pair of   hairpins in Ap constitutes a part of a broader set of dynamic markings, which we jointly discuss in the adjacent remark.

b. 17

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

Probable long accent in Ap

Possible  in Ap

Long accent in FEcor

 in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

The undeniable long accent, written by Chopin in FEcor, was reproduced in FE (→GE,EE) as  hairpins. The sign in Ap, as many others in this manuscript, may be interpreted as a long accent or hairpins.
