In A lack of the slurs over the motifs in the R.H. in bars 10-11 and 12-13 probably means that the slur over the second motif was added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). Lack of a similar addition over the first motif could be explained with the transition to a new page, which in FE falls exactly between bars 10 and 11, yet in a similar situation in analogous bars 20-23 the slur over the first motif was also omitted. In spite of this, in both places we consider the lack of the slur as an inaccuracy of notation and we suggest suitable additions in the main text. The slur in bars 10-11 was already added in EE.

A has as the 2nd note in the L.H., same as in the remaining analogous bars. However, the note is written a little bit too low, which probably resulted in its interpretation as in FE (→EE3). This almost patent error was corrected in GE and EE4.

In the main text we give the fingering added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE), completed with Chopin's fingering of identical figures in the further section of the Etude, in this case in bar 55 (cf. General Editorial Principlesp. 17). In EE Fontana developed the fingering of FE, adding the hints in the descending section of the passage and repeating the fingering in subsequent similar figures.

In the main text we give the fingering added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE), completed with Chopin's fingering for analogous figures in the subsequent section of the Etude, in this case in bars 74-75 (cf. General Editorial Principles, p. 17). Fontana applied a similar procedure in EE, yet to a greater extent.

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

..

We add a few cautionary accidentals: a  before e in bar 17 and a  before and  before b in bar 18. The natural was already added in GE2 (→GE3GE4) and EE4.
