Verbal indications

b. 27

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

in A

No marking in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

In the further part of the bar Chopin performed corrections in FE, the omission of at the beginning of the bar seems to be however the engraver's oversight.

b. 33

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

in A

No indication in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion

We consider the indication's omission to be a more plausible explanation for its lack in FE (→GE,EE) than the composer's correction.

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

Dashes in A

No dashes in FE (→GE,EE)

Omitting the dashes determining the range of a dynamic change is one of the most frequent inaccuracies of FE.

b. 37

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

in A

in FE (→EE)

in GE

in FE (→EE) instead of in A is most probably a result of the engraver's error. In the entire Op. 10 a similar mistake was committed on a number of occasions (in the Etudes in A minor, No. 2, bar 12, E major, No. 3, bar 54, C minor, No. 4, bars 1, 8, 16, 26, 54, E minor, No. 6, bars 21 and 32). On the other hand, the origin of in GE is unclear, although the presence of this mark in this place is possibly a mistake too.
