b. 7-8

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

..

In the 2nd half of the bar the sources repeat the sharps before A1-A and a-a1. In the main text we delete the unnecessary signs.

b. 10

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

E-e in GC (→GE)

F-f in FE & EE
..

The E-e octave at the end of the bar in GC (→GE) is almost certainly the copyist's mistake, who inaccurately repeated the previous bar. In the version of FE and EE, adopted in the main text, Chopin smoothly changed the interval between the parts of both hands from octave to sixth, as part of the D minor chord, being the base of the 2nd half of the bar.
