b. 44

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

in A

No indication in FE (→GE,EE) 

Our variant suggestion
..

Same as in the case of the remaining indications in bars 43-44, omission of dolcissimo in FE (→GE,EE) does not have to be considered as corresponding to Chopin's intention.

issues: Inaccuracies in FE

b. 44-47

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

..

In the main text we give the interpretation of the slurs of A in bars 44-45 and 46-47 which is compliant with the unequivocal slurring of analogous bars 25-26.

b. 44

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

Wedge in A

No mark in FE (→GE)

Dot in EE
..

In the main text we give the wedge written in A, most probably overlooked in FE (→GE). In EE a dot was added in this place.

b. 44-47

composition: Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

No signs in A

 in FE

 in GE & EE

Our suggestion
..

The  marks written in A in bars 44 and 46 mean – same as in bar 33 – pedale come prima. Due to the fact that in analogous bars 25-28 Chopin marked a detailed pedalling, in the main text we suggest an addition based on these indications. The  marks appearing in the editions are certainly an addition of engravers or revisers.
