 featured in AW may be considered to be complementary with respect to the indications of the final version. However, according to us, the whole image of well-thought changes of interpretation indications in this section obliges us to be very cautious, while combining the indications included in AW with those Chopin chose at the time of publishing the Etude. Cf. bars 43-45.

The smorz. indication, present in  [A] and in the sources related to it, replaced probably two earlier indications written in AW–  at the beginning of bar 47 and poco ritenuto in bar 48.
