Pitch

b. 12

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.

..

In the main text we do not consider the cautionary  before the 3rd semiquaver b1. The sign is present in all first editions.

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

..

In CLI there is no  lowering b to b on the 2nd beat of the bar nor the  returning b before the last chord. These are patent errors, being probably a result of the copyist's distraction.

..

In CLI and FEcor there is no  returning d3 on the 3rd beat of the bar. Chopin corrected his oversight in one of later proofreadings of FE (→GE,EE).

Second in CLI

d3 in Ap & FE (→GE,EE) 
..

In the lower voice CLI has the d3-e3 second. This original version was not entirely forgotten by Chopin during proofreading of FE, which is proved by adding and then deleting e3 in FEcor. Cf. bar 42.
