b. 7-8

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

No fingering in A (→FE→GE)

Fingering in EE
..

The entire fingering in EE was added by Fontana. In the part of the R.H. it naturally stems from the fingering given by Chopin as a template in bar 1.

b. 7

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

 in A

No hairpin in FE (→GE,EE)

Our variant suggestion
..

In FE (→GE,EE) it is hard to determine whether the lack of the short  mark written in A is a result of Chopin's proofreading or the engraver's oversight. In the main text we suggest a variant solution.

b. 8-9

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Literal reading of slur in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Interpretation of A suggested by the editors
..

The slur of A in the 2nd half of bar 8 may suggest a continuation in the next bar, in which there is no possible ending of the mark.

b. 8

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

..

We add a cautionary  before f2 after GE2 (→GE3→GE4) and EE4.

b. 9

composition: Op. 10 No 7, Etude in C major

Slur in A (→FE→GE,EE)

Our suggestion
..

The shorter slur featured in the sources may be considered as inaccurate, therefore, we suggest to begin it earlier, after the majority of similar slurs (cf. the remark on bar 1).
