The motif, opening the return of the main theme of the Etude, is provided with in A and in FE (→GE,EE) – with . Although was probably overlooked, Chopin did not return it at the time of proofreading FE, yet he added the hairpins. Renouncement of indicating dynamic level in the returning theme, in which dynamic contrasts play such a crucial role, does not seem to be convincing; however, Chopin could have taken into account the fact that is valid here on the basis of the indication in bar 45. Due to this fact the hairpins of FE should have been regarded as the main version (cf. bars 43-45). On the other hand, as the comparison with the remaining appearances of the theme clearly suggests that the composer considered both indications to be necessary to determine the dynamics and character of this motif, we believe that including next to the hairpins is equally justified.

Lack of the hairpins in FE (→GE,EE) is almost certainly the engraver's oversight. In analogous bar 12, in which there is no mark in A, Chopin added the hairpins at the time of proofreading FE. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |

We give the hairpins written in A. In the editions the direction of the mark was changed, which is a characteristic error, often encountered in the first editions of Chopin's works (cf., e.g., the Nocturne in D major, Op. 27 No. 2, bar 6). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE , Sign reversal |

Lack of and in the editions is most probably a result of the engraver's distraction – cf. the remark on ties in bar 62. In the main text we move to the beginning of the motif – see the remark concerning bars 51-63. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors in FE |
