The use of time signature is not surprising only in GE1, as FE does not use the indication in the Etudes – contrary to the manuscripts – at all, neither in Op. 10 nor in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1 (cf. also the Impromptu in A major, Op. 29). In any case, the correctness and authenticity of the time signature does not raise any doubts thanks to A (→FC). The correct time signature was returned in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Changes of metre , Inaccuracies in GE , Inaccuracies in FE , GE revisions , 4/4 or 2/2 |

According to us, placing in A only at the beginning of bar 1 is an example of Chopin's using a manner of putting the indications inside, and not at the beginning of, the area of their validity, which is not used at all today. It is also possible that Chopin feared the suggestion that the indication refers only to the L.H., yet this risk also seems to be negligible in our times. In FC Fontana put the sign slightly earlier, so that in GE1 it was printed at the very beginning of the piece. The interpretation was reviewed in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions , Inaccuracies in FC , Centrally placed marks |

The pair of hairpins must have been added by Chopin in FC and base text to EE. Nothing indicates that Chopin could have wanted to resign from these indications – their absence in A (→FE) is almost certainly a result of haste and insufficient attention at the time of parallelly introducing corrections and additions in three Stichvorlage manuscripts. Similarly in bars 6-8. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Scope of dynamic hairpins , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FC |

At the beginning of bars 7 and 15 we add cautionary naturals before G and g. The signs before the 1st quaver in both bars were introduced in GE and EE3, before the second – only in GE2 (→GE3). category imprint: Differences between sources; Editorial revisions issues: EE revisions , GE revisions |
