g1 in GC (→GE) & EE1

g1 in FE & EE2 (→EE3)

The version of FE – the E minor chord twice – could have been introduced in the proofreading of FE and was accepted by Chopin during the lessons, which is proved by Chopin entries in FES and FED, performed in the direct neighbourhood of this place. We adopt it to the main text as the undoubtedly authentic and possibly the latest version. Its appearance in EE2 (→EE3) indicates the use of an FE copy while editing this impression (cf. the Etude in G minor, No. 6, bar 4). In this situation, the version of GC (→GE) and EE1 with the E major chord, appearing twice, seems to be either earlier or even erroneous (this kind of oversight of accidentals defining a minor key may be suspected in the Etude in F minor, Dbop. 36 No. 1, bars 41-45).

It is one of these places in which the later editorial and performance practice consolidated the non-authentic compilation of source editions with g1 in bar 38 and g1 in bar 39.
