Verbal indications

b. 67-69

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

No indication in GC (→GE)

in bars 67-69 in FE

in bars 68-69 in EE
..

The difference in the placement of the dim. - - indication in FE and EE proves its independent addition in the base texts to these editions. It is also possible that, as it was probably in analogous bars 47-49 and 87-89, Chopin added the indication in the proofreading of FE.

b. 85

composition: Op. 25 No 10, Etude in B minor

No indication in GC (→GE1), FE & EE

rit. in GE2 (→GE3)

[rit.] suggested by the editors
..

For the third time (after bar 45 and 65) Chopin did not add the rit. indication. According to us, it is an oversight, hence in the main text we suggest adding this indication. A respective revision was performed already in GE2 (→GE3).

in GC (→GE) & EE

No second part of indication in FE
..

The sotto voce indication was completed in GC and probably in the base text to EE. In GC one can see that Chopin initially wrote a different indication (probably e legato only), to eventually choose e sempre legato.
