sempre piano in bar 39 in GC & EE

sempre piano in bar 46 in GE1
..

In GE1 the sempre piano indication, in GC and EE placed under the part of the L.H. in bar 39, was assigned to bar 46, written below. The mistake was corrected in GE2 (→GE3), yet moving the indication between the staves. Despite the fact that the indication is placed in a similar way in FE, one can have doubts whether it corresponds to Chopin's intention.

Slurs in GC (→GE1)

Slurs in FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

The slur of the L.H. in GC (→GE1) is certainly erroneous – the copyist, probably confused with the transition into the new line, wrote in bars 43-44 a slur which was supposed to concern bars 42-43.

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

 (error) in GC (→GE1)

 in FE & EE

 in GE2 (→GE3)
..

The erroneous value of the bass e – double dotted minim – written in GC (→GE1) was probably supposed to, according to Chopin's intention, provide a simultaneous decay (before the rest) of all three voices. Therefore, in the main text we suggest a relevant notation, introduced in GE2 (→GE3).
