b. 5-6

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

Wedge in A

3 dots in FE (→GE1GE1aGE2GE3)

No marks in EE2

5 dots in EE3 (→EE4)

6 dots in GE4 (→GE5)

..

The only staccato sign in A is the wedge at the beginning of bar 6. The dots in bars 6 were added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE1GE1aGE2GE3). Lacking dots in bar 5 are undoubtedly the result of Chopin's inadvertence. Versions in EE testify to an oversight and a later revision. Similar, but more careful revision in GE4 (→GE5) in our opinion represents accurately Chopin's intention.

The fingering written by Chopin in A (two '1's) was completed by him in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). In the main text we also consider the authentic entry in FED.

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).
