Long accent in A & EE

No mark in FE (→GE)

..

The clear long accent in A was omitted in FE (→GE). It is not certain how it appeared in EE, as guessing such a detail by the reviser seems to be an incredibly lucky coincidence.

b. 40

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

Accent in A, interpretation

No mark in FE (→GE,EE

..

We consider the mark of A, which is quite unclear, as a long accent. The atypical notation probably stems from lack of space caused by the corrections performed one line above. This could also have been a reason for the mark's omission in the editions.

b. 41

Dot in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE

..

In the editions the staccato dot written by Chopin in A was omitted. Most probably it is a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE.

b. 42-43

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

Slur in A, interpretation

Tie in FE (→EE)

No sign in GE

..

In A the slur running from the g1-g2 octave is written only in bar 42 (at the end of the text's line). This inaccuracy probably caused its misinterpretation in FE (→EE) as a tie sustaining g2. In GE the slur was omitted, which, among others, may be a simple oversight.
