Op. 10 No 11, Etude in E♭ major

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Errors in FE

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

Chord with c1 in A

No c1 in chord in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Lack of c1 in the 5th chord is most probably a result of an oversight of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE). Although in FE there are visible traces of corrections in this chord, yet the a note was deleted, probably printed by mistake instead of f. In the main text we give the unequivocal version of A, compliant with analogous bar 48.

b. 50

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

g1 in A, FE (→EE)

b1 in GE
..

The traces of corrections, visible in FE, allow to conclude that b1 as the inner note of the 1st chord in the L.H. was originally in FE1, from which it was passed to GE. In FE (→EE) the note was corrected in the last proofreading to g1, compliant with the notation of A.

g2 tied in A & FE2

g2 repeated in FE1 (→GE,EE) 
..

Lack of the tie sustaining g2 in FE1 (→GE,EE) is certainly an oversight, as it is proved by the addition of the sign in FE2.

Pedalling in A

FE (→GE1)

GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

EE
..

In FE the  mark in bar 53 and the  mark in bar 54 were omitted. They are patent errors. In GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and in EE a  mark was added at the beginning of bar 53. In EE the  marks in bar 54 were also added. In the main text we give the only authentic pedalling of A.
