The legato and staccato indications, in A written both in bar 9 and two bars later, were deleted in the second place by Chopin in FC (→GE); they are also absent in EE. In turn, in FE staccato was reproduced in both bars, yet both legato indications were omitted. It can be an oversight of the engraver or Chopin's correction – the legato articulation is indicated by slurs. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Authentic corrections of FC |

It is unclear whether taking the decision to indicate articulation of the R.H. with the help of verbal indications, Chopin wanted to resign from the previously written staccato signs. Beginning from bar 11, Chopin deleted them in A, so that the fact of leaving them in bars 9-10 proves, according to us, an unfinished correction due to distraction. Hence our suggestion of the main text. However, Chopin could have left double indications (with words and signs) at the beginning of the new section on purpose. Taking into account visible inaccuracies resulting from graphical difficulties, it is the notation of GE2 (→GE3) that is the version which expresses this intention best. The version of FE and EE can also pretend to be authentic (accepted by Chopin). category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources; Editorial revisions; Corrections & alterations issues: Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , Wedges , Inaccuracies in FC |

It is not entirely clear which type of accents Chopin had in mind in these bars (similarly in bars 39-40). The second of them is undoubtedly a long accent, yet the first one, in spite of a seemingly analogous situation, can hardly be considered to be such an accent. As the notation of accents in the Etudes is not very precise, we consider it to be acceptable to see both signs as long accents. category imprint: Graphic ambiguousness; Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in FC |
