b. 76

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

..

Same as in bar 12, in GC and FE there is no  raising g1 to g1. In bar 76 it is absent also in EE. The sign was added in GE.

b. 80

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

Semibreve in GC (→GE1)

Minim in FE, EE & GE2 (→GE3)
..

In GC (→GE1) G at the beginning of the bar is – most probably erroneously – a semibreve.

Chord in GC (→GE)

Octave in FE & EE
..

The fifth chord in GC (→GE) is a result of a correction (of Chopin or of the copyist), however, the initial version, then changed, was not the g-g1 octave present in FE and EE. Therefore, it seems that in the base texts to these editions Chopin changed this or another original version to the g-g1 octave.

b. 85-86

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

..

In GC there is no  raising d1 to d1, which is a patent oversight, corrected in GE.

In GC and GE2 (→GE3) there are unnecessary sharps in these bars: in GC before d2 at the beginning of the 3rd and 4th groups of semiquavers in bar 86, while in GE2 (→GE3) before d in the 2nd group in bar 85.

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

..

We add cautionary naturals before d4 and d3. The signs were introduced already in GE2 (→GE3).
