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.

b2 in A, GE & EE

a2 in FE
..

In FE the inner note of the chord on the 4th quaver is an erroneous a2. This patent error was corrected in GE and EE.

b. 44-46

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

..

In A in bars 44 and 46 only the first out of four necessary flats lowering d1/2 to d1/2 is included. In FE two missing signs were added, apart from the accidental in the R.H. in bar 46 (which, in turn, was added in FED). In the remaining editions the notation is correct.
