b. 56

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major

 in A

No markings in FE (→GE,EE)

Our suggestion
..

Lack of the  mark in FE (→GE,EE) is probably a result of the engraver's oversight. In the main text we consider the mark written by Chopin in A and suggest an explanation, specifying its meaning in this context.

b. 57-58

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major

No slurs in A (→FE→GE,EE3)

Slurs in EE4
..

The slurs in the L.H. added in EE4 are certainly non-authentic.

b. 62-70

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major

No pedalling in A

Pedalling in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The pedalling of bars 62-66 and 68-70 originates from Chopin's proofreading of FE (→GE,EE). The missing indications in FE (→GE) in bar 67 – see the note on this bar.

b. 63-64

composition: Op. 10 No 10, Etude in A♭ major

No fingering in A (→FE→GE)

Fingering in EE
..

The fingering, added by Fontana in EE, generally results from Chopin's previous hints (in bars 28 and 45). The fact of copying the use of the 5th finger on d3 at the end of bar 63 seems to be unnecessary, as it is not the only comfortable possibility in this place.
