b. 34

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

e¹-f¹-d¹ in A

e¹-f¹-d¹ in FE (→GE1→GE1a→GE2, →EE2→EE3)

e¹-f¹-d¹ in GE3 (→GE4→GE5) & EE4

Chopin changed the original version (written in A) while proofreading FE (→GE1→GE2, →EE2→EE3). At the time of proofreading, the unnecessary before e¹ in the 2nd half of the bar was left. This may have incited the reviser of GE3 (→GE4→GE5) to change e¹ to e¹ in the chord at the beginning of the bar (this totally arbitrary version was also repeated in EE4).
We add a cautionary before f¹ on the 2nd semiquaver.

b. 38

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

In the second half of the bar A (→FE→GE1→GE1a→GE2→GE3) features accidentals effective from the first half— before c¹ and before a and f. Two first of these signs are also found in EE (in EE4 the last one was also added). These accidentals, unnecessarily written in by Chopin, were removed in GE4 (→GE5).

b. 38

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

Crotchet in A (→FE→GE1)

Dotted crotchet in EE

Crotchet & rest in GE2 (→GE3→GE4→GE5)

In A (→FE→GE1) the rhythmic values of the upper voice do not fill the 2nd half of the bar, as the d¹-f¹ third is a common crotchet. According to us, an oversight of the dots extending the crotchet are more likely in this situation. This is how it was interpreted in EE, adding the dots. In subsequent GE,s a quaver rest was added.
