In the main text we give the title and dedication in accordance with the title page of the entire opus in A (we develop the Mme and Csse abbreviations used in A) and FE. In A (→GE) and FE, the particular etudes are provided with an additional title, Etude, with a corresponding ordinal number, which we represent through the number preceding the score. In EE, the numbering includes 12 Etudes, Op. 10, hence this etude is No. 13. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Dedications , GE revisions , Deletions in A |

The long accent under f2 at the beginning of bar 2 in #AW is the original concept of dynamic markings in these bars. In A one can see that Chopin rejected the accent (placed above this note) in favour of a pair of hairpins. The hairpins were incorrectly reproduced in GE1 (→GE1a), yet only the fact of beginning diminuendo in GE2 (→GE3) from the beginning of bar 2 may be considered as a quite significant change. In FE and EE, diminuendo immediately follows crescendo. In the main text we reproduce the signs of A, the only ones written undoubtedly by Chopin's hand. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Deletions in A |

In the main text we give a pair of hairpins, being a result of Chopin proofreading of GE1a (→GE2); it is also FE that has identical indications. Hence Chopin returned – in a modified form – to the original idea written in AI. The abbreviated sign of GE1 is an attempt to interpret a not entirely clear notation of A; another attempt was made in GE3, ignoring the authentic proofreading of GE1a. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE , Unclear hairpins in A |

In all manuscripts, FE and EE1 (→EE2) have no flats returning e2 and e1. This inaccuracy, so characteristic for Chopin, was corrected only in GE and EE3. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: EE revisions , Omissions to cancel alteration , GE revisions , Errors of A |

..
The pair of hairpins was added by Chopin in a proofreading of GE1a (→GE2). The signs are also in FE, perhaps also added at the time of proofreading. In GE3 they were removed as part of comparing the compatibility of this edition with the original handwritten base text (A). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: GE revisions , Authentic corrections of GE |
