b. 7

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Long accent in A (→FE)

Short accent in GE

No mark in EE2

Accent & dots in EE3 (→EE4)
..

EE2 does not have the accent added in EE3 (→EE4) together with staccato dots under the quavers (probably by analogy with bar 15). In GE a short accent was applied and moved over the crotchet. In the main text we preserve the notation of A (→FE).

b. 8

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

Crotchet in A

Quaver in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In A the first chord in the L.H. is a crotchet. The possible mistake (theoretically it could be considered as a simplified two-voice notation) was corrected in FE (→GE,EE).

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

..

We add a cautionary  before d1; it was already performed in GE and EE4. We remove the unjustified  before c1 in the 2nd chord; the change was already introduced in GE and EE4.

b. 12

composition: Op. 10 No 5, Etude in G♭ major

e3, more likely reading of A (→FE→GE1,EE2→EE3)

d3 in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) i EE4
..

In A the head of the note embraces the area of two notes, d3 and e3, which stems from the simplified probably hasty correction. In spite of this, in FE (→GE1,EE2→EE3) it was correctly interpreted as e3. However, the reviser of GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) changed it to d3, which was accepted as legitimate also in EE4.
