b. 30-32

composition: Op. 25 No 4, Etude in A minor

Slurs in A (→FC) & GE2 (→GE3)

Slur in FE & GE1

Slurs in EE

..

In spite of the clearly divided slurs of A (→FC), both FE and GE1 embrace these three bars with one slur. The later beginning of the slur in bar 31 in EE is the original version, not corrected by Chopin in the base text to this edition (the extension of the slur is visible in A and most probably in FC).

composition: Op. 25 No 4, Etude in A minor

Tenuto slur in A

..

A slur starting from the minim c2 is a clear example of so-called tenuto-slurs, emphasizing the necessity of holding down the last note under the slur. Cf. e.g. Concerto in F minor, Op. 21, mvt. II, bar 84.

 in A (→FE,FCGE)

 in EE

..

It is hard to state whether  in EE is an authentic indication. Anyways,  in the remaining sources seems to be more adequate, if only due to analogy with bar 17.

b. 31

composition: Op. 25 No 4, Etude in A minor

..

The last dyad in the bottom voice seems to be a third in A, as the bottom note is written slightly too low. The visible in FE traces of correction prove that it actually misled the engraver and it must have been corrected in print.

b. 31

composition: Op. 25 No 4, Etude in A minor

..

In A (→FE) there are no flats before the bottom note of the 2nd quaver in the L.H. and top note of the 3rd chord in the R.H. The sign in the R.H. was added in FC (by the copyist or Chopin). GE and EE include the correct notation.
