b. 23

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

Accent in A

No mark in FE (→GE,EE)

A, interpretation suggested by the editors
..

The accent of A, perhaps accidentally omitted in the editions, may either be assigned to the R.H. (our main text) or to the left one.

b. 23

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

..

In the chord in the middle of the bar, Chopin overlooked the  returning b in A. However, two notes later he added a cautionary natural before a (arranged a little bit too high).

b. 23-24

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

Slur in A

No slur in FE (→GE,EE2)

Slur in EE3 (→EE4)
..

Lack of the slur in FE (→GE,EE2) is most probably accidental. In EE3 (→EE4) a slur embracing two bars was added, which is hard to contest.

No sign in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Possible reading of FED
..

The unclear mark visible in FED may be a fingering digit ('1') or an indication to perform f by the left hand.

 in A

FE (→EE,GE1→GE2→GE3→GE4)

 in GE5
..

In the main text we give the hairpins after A. In FE (→GE,EE) they were aligned to the third of the upper voice, which most probably was a manner of the engraver of FE. In GE5 the direction of the mark was reversed.
