No marking in AI & FE (→GE,EE)

 in A

Our variant suggestion

Omission of  in FE (→GE,EE) is rather a result of the engraver's distraction than Chopin's proofreading. The composer, who in two other places in the Etude – in bar 48 and 56 – added  when proofreading FE, could have accepted the lack of this indication. Therefore, we suggest a variant solution.
