It is uncertain why FE (→GE,EE) does not include the expressive markings written in A in bars 2 and 10. Most probably it is a result of the engraver's inaccuracy (haste?), however, even if it was the case, Chopin did not feel the need to complete these indications at the time of proofreading FE, despite the fact that in bar 2 he added a mark in this place. Therefore, respecting the image of the Etude accepted by Chopin for publication, we do not give them in the main text. category imprint: Differences between sources |

Not being certain whether the lack of sempre legato in FE (→GE,EE) is accidental, we give the indication in brackets. In bars 45-46 the analogous passage is embraced with slurs in all sources, which indirectly confirms the legato articulation also in this case. In spite of the fact that the indication in A begins only in the 2nd group of semiquavers, its binding force from the beginning of the passage is undeniable. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE , Centrally placed marks |

It is hard to state how con forza written in A would become con fuoco in FE (→GE,EE). In the editors opinion a mistake in reading the manuscript is quite probable. However, we keep the published version in the main text because Chopin undoubtedly controlled the performance indications while proofreading FE – i.a. he added just con forza in bar 15 – and did not change anything at the place under discussion. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Authentic corrections of FE |

The omission of the dashes limiting the range of the dynamic change in FE (→GE,EE) belongs to the most frequent inaccuracies of French first editions of Chopin's works. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Inaccuracies in FE |
