In the main text we give the title and dedication in the undoubtedly authentic version adopted in FE. The extensions of both the title (in GE and EE) and the dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 1.

b. 9-10

Two slurs in A, contextual interpretation

One slur in FE (→GE,EE)

..

Two slurs in A are clearly shorter than their counterparts in bars 1-2, however, there is no doubt that it is a result of a less careful notation. In FE (→GE,EE) it was understood in the same way, yet only the second slur, in bar 10, was reproduced. See bars 1-4.

f1 & f in A

..

The version of A may be the inadvertently left original edition of this bar (or maybe even of bar 7). In any case, a proofreading of FE – despite a possible error in the 2nd half of the bar – does not leave any doubts concerning the final intention of the composer. The natural returning f, which in FE is only before the penultimate note of the bar, was moved before the 7th semiquaver in GE and EE, which may render Chopin's intention accurately.

b. 17

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

No fingering in A

'4' in FE (→GE)

'3' in EE & FES

..

In FE (→GE) the lower digit of the last triad's fingering in the R.H. (4) seems to be erroneous, which is proved by a correction performed by Chopin in this place in FES. A similar change was introduced by Fontana in EE.

b. 20

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

No dot in FE (→GE1)

Dotted crotchet in A, EE & GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5)

..

Lack of the dot prolonging in FE (→GE1) is probably an error. The sign was added in EE, as well as in GE2 and subsequent GE,s.
