b. 48

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

Wedge in A (→FE→EE,GE1→GE2)

Dot in GE3 (→GE4)
..

Change of the type of the staccato mark in GE3 (→GE4) is certainly non-authentic.

Long accents in FE

Short accents in GE & EE
..

According to us, the marks in the 2nd half of bars 52 and 53 are  hairpins and this is the interpretation we suggest in the main text. In FE they were interpreted as long accents, while in GE and EE – short ones. The version of FE, which generally does not significantly differ from the interpretation of A we propose, may be considered as a minor performance variant.

b. 53

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

 in A

No sign in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Lack of  hairpins in FE (→GE,EE) is most probably a result of distraction of the engraver of FE.

b. 54-55

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

Accents in A

FE (→GE,EE)
..

Different accents of FE (→GE,EE) are certainly a result of Chopin's proofreading of FE. The accents in A should rather be considered as long, yet the marks in FE (→GE,EE) already resemble common short accents.
