b. 46

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

Two quavers in A (→FEGE,EE)

Triplet in FED

..

The main text is the version written by Chopin in FED as an addition to the version of A (→FEGE,EE). We give priority to the entry to the pupils' copy, as this kind of variation of repeating phrases is very characteristic for Chopin; he would often introduce it in the last phase of composing or to already finished pieces (cf. the Mazurka in G minor, Op. 24 No. 1, bars 57 and 59). In this situation an additional argument is the analogy to bar 27. We add the  omitted in the entry, lowering d3 to d3.
