b. 32-35

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

Semiquavers in CLI & FE (→GE,EE) 

Crotchets & semiquavers in Ap
..

Same as in other places, we consider the version of Ap with the extended articulation of the accompanying two-note chords as a transitional stage in the process of shaping of the Etude's text or even an exclusive one-time idea.

No ties in CLI

Ties in Ap & FE (→GE,EE)

In CLI the E-e octave is not sustained to the next bar, which is probably a mistake.

The sources differ in the range of  entries. Chopin's entries in Ap and FEcor do not show significant differences, in the main text we give the version of FEcor. In finished FE the hairpins in bar 33 were shortened, the version was reproduced in EE with insignificant displacements (except for EE2, where both signs were omitted). It is GE that displays the greatest differences in comparison with the base text: the hairpins in bar 33 actually correspond to authentic signs, yet the sign in bar 34 in GE1 (→GE2) was arbitrarily prolonged, which distorted its meaning, whereas in GE3 and subsequent ones – it was totally omitted.
