In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and the dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 1.

b. 1

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

No fingering in Ap & FE (→EE)

1-2 in GE

..

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-dfourth is the first two-note chord, in which there is a real possibility of using other fingers than 1-2.

b. 1-5

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

..

Before the last semiquaver in bar 1 FE (→EE2) has an undoubtedly authentic cautionary . The revisers of GE and EE3 (→EE4) added it also in bar 5. According to us, the signs in such a regular figuration are superfluous.

not tied in CLI & FE (→EE2EE3)

tied in Ap, GE & EE4

..

The authenticity of the note's hold is undoubtedly certified only in Ap (only in this bar – cf. bars 12 and 39). The ties featured in a part of the first editions are either possibly (GE) or certainly (EE3, probably under the influence of GE) a revision. Arbitrarily added, allegedly missing ties in the places in which not all components of two-note chords or chords are held with ties are to be found in first editions of Chopin's pieces on a number of occasions. To the main text we adopt the undoubtedly authentic version of FE (→EE2EE3).
