..

There is no staccato dot over the 4th semiquaver in A. It is such an evident oversight that its presence in FE (→GE,EE) may be even a result of the engraver's inaccuracy. However, a conscious action of the engraver or Chopin's proofreading also cannot be excluded.

Both autographs lack some of the necessary naturals in this bar, although these which are included allow for a clear interpretation of the text:

  • in AI there is no sign before c2 in the 3rd chord in the R.H., while the  before c is unnecessarily repeated on the 6th semiquaver in the bar (due to the brief notation of the octave, the sign concerns also the bottom C); 
  • in A there is no  before the bottom C at the 2nd semiquaver, while the only sign in the part of the R.H. is a  before c2 in the last chord.

The necessary signs were added in FE (→GE,EE), while in GE4 (→GE5), the unnecessary  at the end of the bar was removed.

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

..

The notation of accidentals is not accurate in the autographs, particularly in AI. Typical for Chopin omissions of signs written simultaneously or slightly earlier next to proper notes in another octave, as well as oversights of cancellations of previous alterations, do not, however, lead to any misunderstandings, as far as the interpretation of the intended text is concerned. In all sources there are also signs of cautionary or reminding nature. In the main text we include these which Chopin wrote in A.

No slurs in AI & FE (→EE2)

Slur in A

Two slurs in GE & EE3 (→EE4)

..

In A Chopin overlooked one of the slurs in the L.H. (in AI there are no slurs in this fragment at all). The engraver of FE (→EE2) omitted the previous slur too. In the remaining editions these patent inaccuracies were corrected.

No slurs in AI & A (→FEEE2,GE1GE1a)

Slurs in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) & EE3 (→EE4)

..

We add slurs in the 1st half of the bar by analogy with consistent slurs of similar motifs in bars 63, 64, 66 and 67. The addition was already performed in GE2 (→GE3GE4GE5) and EE3 (→EE4). See also bar 67.
