In the preserved photography of AI, it is hard to state whether Chopin, while correcting the 16th note in the R.H., changed e
1 to f1 or the other way round. According to us, it is the second possibility that is more plausible, as the other changes visible in AI generally strive towards the versions written later in A. However, as the version with e1 is represented by the remaining sources, for AI we adopt f1, which at a certain stage of composing the Etude was certainly considered by Chopin.
