Lack of some of the fingering indications in FC (→GE) – '1' in bar 49 and three digits in bar 50 – is most probably a result of the copyist's inattention, although fingering additions in the base texts to FE and EE cannot be entirely excluded. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Errors of FC |

The third finger, written in all three Stichvorlage manuscripts – FC (→GE) and base texts to FE and EE – was changed by Chopin to first while proofreading FE. Hence the composer resigned from repeating the fingering arrangement appearing at the beginning of this bar in favour of full compatibility with the basic fingering scheme of minor third chromatic passages, defined at the beginning of the Etude (bars 5-6 and 9-10). However, taking into account the fact that the changes of the direction of movement naturally offer an opportunity for minor, local deviations, not breaching the general rules, in the main text we give both versions of Chopin fingering. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

The fingering of the 10th, 11th and 12th third, appearing only in FE, was almost certainly added at the time of proofreading FE, together with the change of the digit under the 9th third – see the adjacent note. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Authentic corrections of FE |

These kind of figures in the L.H. are consistently provided with pedalling in the entire Etude. In this situation, lack of indications in this bar must be considered as Chopin's oversight. category imprint: Editorial revisions |

The change introduced in GE3 is surprising due to the extent of misunderstanding of the harmony in this place, particularly if one takes into account the fact that it was introduced already in the 2nd half of the 19th century and the reviser of GE should have already known at least a few Chopin's pieces, in which a chord of a similar structure was used (g category imprint: Differences between sources issues: GE revisions |
