Op. 25 No 2, Etude in F minor

Issues : Deletions in A

Chopin hesitated whether to put cautionary flats before d1 and d3. The signs are included in the earliest source (AT) and in the published version, including GC (→GE), FE and EE. In turn, in CDP there is only the second of them, while AW included the first one (in the L.H.), yet Chopin eventually deleted it. Despite this fact, in the main text we give exactly this , returned in the later sources and, according to us, justified.

AW reveals Chopin's hesitation, as far as the pitch of the 2nd crotchet is concerned: next to the eventually left c2 note, one can see the previously deleted both a1 and c2. In the main text we give a1 featured in CDP, GC (→GE), FE and EE, yet in this situation the version with c2 may be considered as almost equal.
