Lack of upbeat in AI is characteristic for the original versions – cf., e.g., the autograph of the first edition of the Mazurka in A major, Op. 7 No. 4 or the album autograph of the initial theme of the Nocturne in F minor, Op. 55 No. 1.

Interpretation of the written in pencil ending of the Etude is impeded in AI by limited resolution of the preserved photography. Originally, the piece ends in bar 48: . Chopin then added in pencil an additional bar, yet interpretation of the details of the part of the L.H., which seems to be edited differently than in A and editions, is not entirely certain.
