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 dedication (in EE) most probably come from the editors. See the Etude in C major, No. 1, bar 1.

The change of Vivace to Lento was introduced by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The tempo indication of this Etude is the most flagrant example of the change of concept in Chopin's pieces, although a few arguments prove that the actual deceleration of the tempo could have not been that significant as it is suggested by the transition from Vivace to Lento ma non troppo. Cf. bar 21.

Chopin added the metronome indication at the time of proofreading FE. The value of crotchet in GE and EE is certainly erroneous – even with a quaver the tempo seems to be very fast and it has not been obeyed by the pianists for over one hundred years.

b. 1

composition: Op. 10 No 3, Etude in E major

No slur in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

Slur in A

..

An accidental omission of the slur written in A in FE (→GE,EE) seems to be most plausible here.
