b. 44-45

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

Fifth in A

Triad in FE (→GE,EE)
..

The version of FE (→GE,EE) is undoubtedly a result of Chopin's proofreading. In an analogous place at the beginning of the previous bar, in A there are traces of deleting the g note, hence one can speak of Chopin's hesitation.

b. 49

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

..

While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin added cautionary accidentals before g1 and g2. In the main text we give only the 1st of them.

b. 53

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

..

In FE (→EE) the double flat was erroneously placed before the bottom note of the third. However, this patent inaccuracy was corrected only in GE.

b. 66

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

b1 in A (→FE→EE)

g1 in GE
..

Initially, the erroneous version of GE – with g1 – was also in FE, in which, however, this g1 was changed to b1 in the last proofreading.

h1 in A

c1 in FE (→GE,EE)
..

Lack of the flat lowering c1 to c1 in the 2nd half of the bar in FE (→GE,EE) is probably an oversight of the engraver, who could have confused this bar with bar 65.
