b. 45-46

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Slur in GC, FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

Longer slur in GE1

..

The slur of the L.H. begins in GC more or less in the middle of the 1st beat of the bar, so GE1 embraced also the 1st octave with it. This undoubtedly erroneous interpretation was corrected in GE2 (→GE3). Similarly in bar 47.

b. 45

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

One pedal in GC (→GE) & EE1

Two pedals in FE & EE2 (→EE3)

..

The sources give two version of pedalling – one-bar-long in GC (→GE) and EE1 and half-bar-long in FE and EE2 (→EE3). Both versions are certainly authentic and the pedalling of FE can be later – cf. bars 46-48. In the main text we give, however, the first one, as it was written in GC with Chopin's hand and – which could be perhaps meaningful – is present together with the enriched version of the 3rd crochet of the bar. Similarly in bar 47.

b. 46

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Quavers in GC (→GE)

Dotted rhythm in FE & EE

..

Based on the fact of writing the part of the L.H. under the semiquavers of the R.H., the equal quavers in GC (→GE) are a result of a mistake of the copyist who forgot to add the dot extending b and semiquaver beam.

b. 46

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

Tied minim in GC, FE, EE & GE3

Dotted minim in GE1

Minim without tie in GE2 

..

It is hard to state how the erroneous version of GE1 occurred, as the e minim, held with a tie, lasts the same as the dotted minim, one can assume an attempt (failed) to rationalise Chopin's notation. In any case, the erroneous dot extending e was removed in GE2, yet the tie was not added, which happened only in GE3

b. 46

composition: Op. 25 No 11, Etude in A minor

No sign in GC (→GE) & FE

Arpeggio sign in EE

..

The arpeggio in EE could have been added by Chopin in the base text to this edition.
