The additional b1 note in GE is most probably a mistake. In A Chopin wrote analogous bar 35 too, also without this note.

In GE3 (→GE4) the inner note of the 1st chord in the L.H. is a b. It must be a mistake.

The missing dashes limiting the range of cresc. in bars 18-20 and 23-24 is a very common defect of the first editions of Chopin's works. Moreover, in GE there is no cresc. in bar 18, which also must be considered as a mistake.

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

Wedges & dot in A

According to us, the chords at the beginning of bars 27 and 29 in A are provided with wedges (in opposition to dots in bars 26 and 28). In the editions both marks were reproduced as dots.

In GE1 (→GE2) the dot over the 1st chord in the R.H. in bar 28 was omitted.
