b. 30-31

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

..

We add cautionary flats before d2 in bar 30 and e2 in bar 31. The additions were already made in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5) and EE4.

in A

No dashes in FE (→GE,EE)
..

In FE (→GE,EE) the dashes determining the range of stretto e cresc. were most probably overlooked.

Slurs in A

Slur in FE (→EE,GE1→GE2→GE3→GE4)

Slur in GE5
..

The slur of A reaches the end of bar 32, yet in FE it was led until the beginning of bar 33, so that in GE and EE it reaches the 1st chord in this bar (in GE5 to the second, probably by mistake). According to us, it does not correspond to Chopin's intention. Moreover, in the editions the slur in bars 33-34 was omitted – perhaps the engraver of FE did not know, from which note to begin it.

b. 32-33

composition: Op. 10 No 6, Etude in E♭ minor

f1 & f1 in A

g1 & f1 in FE (→EE2→EE3)

Our suggestion based on FE

g1 & f1 in GE & EE4
..

In A the last note in the 1st half of bar 32 is f1, after which three naturals follow: before f2 in the next chord and before f1 at the end of this and next bars. In a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) Chopin changed f1 to g1 and deleted the already unnecessary  before f2. In FE (→EE2→EE3) the accidental before the last note in bar 32 was also removed, however, the remaining traces suggest that it was a  and not a . The assumption is confirmed by f1 appearing in this place in GE (and EE4). In the main text we give the undoubtedly final notation of FE.
