b. 44

composition: Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

One  sign in A & GE2 (→GE3→GE4)

Two signs in FE (→GE1,EE)
..

Doubled  hairpins in FE (→GE1,EE) may be explained with Chopin's proofreading of an inaccurately arranged mark: at the beginning the engraver arranged  too low, so it seems that it refers to the L.H., which Chopin corrected by adding the 2nd mark over the R.H. The change is of an ad hoc nature, hence in the main text we give the version of A. The correct notation was also guessed in subsequent GE,s.

In this bar in A there is a visible extension of the slur, so it embraced the entire sequence of quavers in bars 46-47 and the minim in bar 48.
