b. 43

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

No mark in GC (→GE)

Long accent in FE

Short accent in EE

..

In the main text we give a long accent after FE. An accent – short – is also in EE, which means that the sign was most probably added by Chopin in the base texts to these editions or that the copyist accidentally omitted it.

Long accent in GC

No accent in EE

We preserve the notation of GC, in which the accent (long) is not related to  and it seems to concern the R.H. The notation used in FE was, however, used by Chopin, hence it can be authentic. The short accent in GE is an inaccuracy resulting from the fact that the sign of the long accent did not belong to the set of standard music indications and each time it was interpreted either as a common accent or as diminuendo.

b. 62

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

No marks in GC (→GE1)

Wedge in FE

Wedges in EE & GE2 (→GE3)

..

Lack of the staccato signs in GC (→GE1) may be a result of the copyist's inattention. The wedges in GE2 (→GE3) were most probably added by analogy to bar 64. Lack of wedge in the L.H. in FE – unless it is a common oversight – does not mean that the quaver in the L.H. is to be performed differently than the one in the R.H. In this kind of homogeneous texture, Chopin did not always use to mark the articulation of the L.H. separately.

b. 64

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

Wedges in GC, EE & GE2 (→GE3)

R.H. wedge in FE

Dots in GE1

..

Lack of the wedge for the L.H. may correspond to the notation of the base text to FE, however, it cannot be excluded that the engraver confused the wedge for a fingering numeral. In the remaining sources the wedges are present in the parts of both hands (except for GE1, in which the signs were undoubtedly misinterpreted as staccato dots).
