b. 12-13

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

g not tied in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Our suggestion
..

We consider the lack of hold of g as an error of A, which was not corrected in any of the subsequent sources. Chopin's more relaxed approach at the time of writing the first phrase of the Etude is indicated by other undeniable mistakes – lack of  before d at the beginning of bar 12 and, above all, overlooking the accidentals in bar 15.

b. 12

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

No sign in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Possible reading of FEJ
..

The meaning of the mark (marks?) visible in FEJ is uncertain. The mark over e1 at the end of the bar may be a fingering digit.

b. 13-14

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

No tie in A

Tie in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Lack of the tie sustaining a in A is most probably a mistake, which is confirmed by the tie added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE).
