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

..

In A (→FE) there is no  lowering d2 to d2 in the 1st chord. A relevant accidental is also absent before the topmost note in the L.H. In GE and EE the flats were added, yet in EE3 only the one in the L.H. In the main text we remove the unnecessary  before d in the 2nd half of the bar, which appears in the sources.

Numeral '1' in FE

Numeral '3' in GE, EE & FED

FE gives the '1' fingering digit under the 4th note. This patent error was overridden both in GE and EE. Chopin wrote a relevant correction also in FED.
