Op. 10 No 9, Etude in F minor

Text Compare Notes Sources Description

Issues : Accidentals in different octaves

b. 21-23

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

..

The sources are missing some of the flats before g notes (in various octaves). None of these inaccuracies raise any doubt concerning the sound intended by Chopin. In AI there are no  before g, as well as before G and g1 in bar 23. In A both flats in the L.H. in the 2nd half of bar 22 are missing; only the first of them was added in FE. The remaining sources have the correct text.

b. 25-27

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

..

In AI Chopin would generally write accidentals only next to the upper notes of the octaves. The only sign before a bottom note is the  lowering g2 to g2 in bar 27. The notation of A is already much more precise – only the  lowering g1 to g1 in bar 25 is missing. FE (→GE,EE) have the correct text.

b. 50

..

In A (→FE→EE3) there is no  before the 9th semiquaver of the bar (g1). This patent inaccuracy was corrected in GE and EE4.

b. 52

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

..

Lack of the  raising d1 to d1 is a patent inaccuracy of the notation of A (→FE→EE3). The sign was added in GE and EE4.
