b. 41

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

Long accent in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

b. 41-43

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

No slurs in A (→FE→GE,EE2)

Slurs in EE3 (→EE4)
..

The slurs added in EE3 (→EE4) are most probably based on authentic slurs in bars 1-3. The revisers extended the analogy also to bar 40.

No a in A

a in FE (→GE,EE)

In the main text we give the version of the last semiquaver, introduced by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).

b. 42

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

No slur in A (→FE→GE,EE2)

Slur in EE3 (→EE4)
..

The slur added in EE3 (→EE4) is an arbitrary decision of the reviser, yet not devoid of intuition – cf. bar 2.
