In FES the long accent is written under the stave, however, it cannot concern any other note than the e1 minim. The lines of unclear meaning visible in this copy may underline its connection to this note and the significance of its clear performance for the expression of the phrase. In the main text we suggest this lesson's note, perhaps related to the extension of the slur, in brackets. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The slur in EE may be considered as a result of misunderstanding of the manuscript (perhaps inaccurate), if it were not for the extension of the slur written – most probably by Chopin – in FES. Therefore, it seems that a relevant indication of the overlapping phrases bothered Chopin both at the stage of preparing the Etude for print and many years later during the lessons. The versions of FE and GE1 and GE2 (→GE3) are most probably only conventional interpretations of the handwritten notation which can be seen in GC. category imprint: Differences between sources |

The fermatas added in FES are most probably a lesson note, being an attempt to shape the correct proportions in the rhythmically free performance of the initial phrase of the Etude. The signs, together with the fingering coming from this copy, prove that Chopin did not feel the need to correct the probably erroneous rhythm of the 4th and 5th note. category imprint: Differences between sources |
