Slur in A, interpretation

No slur in FE (→GE,EE2)

Slur in EE3 (→EE4)

..

The vague mark in A may be interpreted as a slur. It seems that Chopin went out of ink at the time of writing, however, he did not take care of a discernible notation in A, nor did he add the slur while proofreading FE. Therefore, we do not include this mark in the main text. In EE3 (→EE4) a whole-bar long slur was added under the semiquavers.

b. 41-43

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

No slurs in A (→FEGE,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.

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

No slur in A (→FEGE,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

The overlooked in FE (→EE2,GE1GE2) tie sustaining e1 was added in the remaining editions. The sign was also added in FEJ.

Fingering in A (→FE)

 
..

In the main text we reproduce the fingering written in bar 47 in A (→FE). The arrangement of the digits under or above the notes indicates a division between the hands, which was misinterpreted in GE. Fontana also did not include (did not understand?) this hint in EE, suggesting a different division and repeating his own indications in bars 48-49 (except the first note in bar 49).
