  b. 52

Crotchet in A (→FE,FCGE1) & EE

Quaver in GE2 (→GE3)

The seemingly erroneous notation of A and of the remaining sources (except for GE2 and GE3) could have been intended by Chopin, although in this Etude, he used the notation compliant with the rules in similar cases. In other pieces, rhythmic values exceeding the bar were used by Chopin both in autographs (e.g., the Concerto in F minor, Op. 21, 1st mov., bars 278-279, 3rd mov., bars 423-424) and corrections of print (the Polonaise in C minor, Op. 26 No. 1, bars 19-20). On the other hand, one cannot exclude a simple oversight of the quaver flag (cf. bar 15).
