The change of the notation introduced by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) manifests both the harmonic progression and rhythmic values (shorter sound of g1). In EE2 (→EE3) the quaver flag is missing.

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

f1 & f1 in A

g1 & f1 in FE (→EE2→EE3)

Our suggestion based on FE

g1 & f1 in GE & EE4
..

In A the last note in the 1st half of bar 32 is f1, after which three naturals follow: before f2 in the next chord and before f1 at the end of this and next bars. In a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE) Chopin changed f1 to g1 and deleted the already unnecessary  before f2. In FE (→EE2→EE3) the accidental before the last note in bar 32 was also removed, however, the remaining traces suggest that it was a  and not a . The assumption is confirmed by f1 appearing in this place in GE (and EE4). In the main text we give the undoubtedly final notation of FE.
