Out of the three most probably authentic, slightly differing variants of placement of the cresc. - - indication we choose the version of FE as combining their most reliable elements – earlier beginning (FE and EE) and earlier ending (A and FE). It is worth observing that the fact of writing the cres abbreviation earlier in A was related to an impending smearing of the part of the L.H., which could have had an influence on the "compromise" shift of the indication. category imprint: Interpretations within context; Differences between sources issues: EE revisions |

The dynamic indications of the final part of the Etude were almost certainly added by Chopin to the three, generally finished, Stichvorlage manuscripts. In bars 28-31, EE1 transferred the most elaborately developed version with in bar 28 and diminuendo in bars 30-31, A (→GE) includes only , while FE, devoid of indications, remained in the shape preceding the additions. Circa 10 years after the publication of the Etudes, Chopin added here in a pupil's copy (FED), which, according to us, is to be considered as an alternative dynamic concept and not a conclusive change. category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations issues: Annotations in teaching copies , Annotations in FED , Authentic post-publication changes and variants |

Same as in other similar cases (cf. bars 19, 25-27, 28, 30-31), both sets of indications are certainly authentic, yet it is unknown which of the versions is later. In the main text we give the differentiated indications of A (→GE). category imprint: Differences between sources; Corrections & alterations |
