b. 53-61

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No arpeggio signs in AI & FE (→EE2)

Two arpeggio signs in EE3

Five arpeggio signs in GE & EE4
..

According to us, the arpeggio performance of the tenth chords in bars 53 and 61 remains beyond any doubts – see bar 11.

No markings in AI

 suggested by the editors
..

A possible error of the engraver of FE (→GE,EE) is indicated by the repeated  just at the beginning of bar 55. A number of other examples of omission of the letter 'z' in  makes this error highly likely.

b. 54

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

No mark in AI & FE (→EE2)

Wedge in GE & EE3 (→EE4)

Our suggestion
..

In the main text we suggest to add a wedge after the authentic mark in analogous bar 4. The wedge was already added in GE and EE3 (→EE4).

b. 61

composition: Op. 10 No 4, Etude in C♯ minor

in AI

in FE (→GE,EE)

Same as in bar 11, the version of AI had to be also in [A], as there are visible traces of its deletion in FE. Similarly in bars 3 and 53.
