Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Errors of CLI

b. 27-28

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

Tied G in CLI

Tied octave in FE (→GE) & EE3 (→EE4)

Repeated octave in EE2
..

CLI is missing the lower note of the sustained octave. Most probably the copyist forgot to write 8 under both Gs. In EE2 there are no ties sustaining the octave, which is probably a mistake.

Tied B in CLI

Tied octave (original version)

B1 & octave in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

CLI has a sustained B as a bass note in these bars. This is the original version, moreover, it was almost certainly written with an error – same as in the adjacent bars, it was the B1-B octave that was supposed to be in this place (cf. e.g. bars 3 or 23-24).

b. 35-36

composition: Op. 10 No 1, Etude in C major

No ties in CLI

Ties in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In CLI the lack of hold of the bass octave is most probably the copyist's error.

d1-f1 in CLI

f1 in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

The third of CLI, impossible from the pianistic point of view, is certainly a result of the copyist's distraction, who forgot to erase the erroneously written d1.

g in CLI

g in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

According to us, g in CLI is not an earlier version, yet a copyist's error, who routinely repeated the accidental of the previous figures.
