No pedalling in A & GE3 (→GE4→GE5)

Pedalling in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2)

The pedalling of the 2nd half of the bar was added in a proofreading of FE (→EE). In GE1 the  mark at the end of bar 60 is missing, which was corrected in GE2, yet in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) it was again omitted, this time together with the preceding it  mark.

b. 73-74

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

No marks in A & EE2

Two long accents in FE (→GE1→GE1a)

Two short accents in GE2 (→GE3)

Three short accemts in GE4 (→GE5)

Four accents in EE3 (→EE4)

Three long accents proposed by the editors
..

Two long accents in FE (→GE1→GE1a) were certainly added by Chopin. They confirm the way in which Chopin understood all signs written with the first appearance of this phrase (bars 69-70). All subsequent versions are undoubtedly a result of inaccuracy or revision. We suggest to add the accent in the 2nd half of bar 74, as it seems highly unlikely that Chopin would want the last motif to be performed in a different way.
