b. 56

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

c2 in A (→FE→EE,GE1→GE2)

d2 in GE3 (→GE4)
..

The d2 note in the 1st chord is most probably a result of a mistake of the engraver of GE3 (→GE4).
The  added before c2 in FE (→GE1,EE) also seems to be a mistake.

b. 57-59

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

No fingering in A (→FE→GE)

Fingering in EE
..

We do not include the fingering added by Fontana in EE. It generally does not differ from the fingering based on the one by Chopin added by Fontana in analogous bars 17-19.

b. 57

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

No ties in A

Ties in FE (→GE,EE) 
..

Lack of the hold of the e1-e2 octave in A is most probably Chopin's mistake, corrected in FE (→GE,EE).

composition: Op. 10 No 12, Etude in C minor

Dotted minim in A (→FE→GE) & EE4

Minim in EE3

Our suggestion
..

In the main text we separate the c2 note from the chord, as in this case Chopin's simplified notation may be unclear, e.g., considered to be erroneous, as it probably occurred in EE3.
