b. 30-35

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

No slurs in AI & EE2

Slurs in A (→FE→GE) & EE3 (→EE4)
..

In EE2 there are no slurs over bars 30-31 and 34-35. It is one of numerous oversights of this impression, corrected in the next one. AI does not have slurs in the entire fragment (bars 30-41).

c2 & c1 in AI & A (→FE→GE,EE)

c2 & c1 in FED
..

There are no reasons to question Chopin provenience of the naturals added in FED. At the same time, however, one cannot consider this change to express Chopin's final intention, as in the remaining preserved pupils' copies, the composer did not mark it.

b. 31

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

..

In AI the bar is briefly marked as a partial repetition of bar 30 – in the part of the L.H. there is only a •/• mark, while in the part of the R.H., which was initially written in the same way, Chopin added the first third a1-c2 and the entire bottom voice in order to mark the difference.

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

b-c1 in AI, A, FE2, GE, EE

c1-d1 in FE1
..

The c1-d1 second at the 5th semiquaver in the bar is almost certainly a mistake of FE1, corrected in FE2. The change to b-c1 was introduced also in GE and EE, perhaps on the basis of analogy with bar 36.
