b. 5

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

..

The Allegro con brio indication in GC is written with Chopin's hand. It can also be seen that Chopin deleted Allegro molto con fuoco written by the copyist. In this case the composer ensured that the final version is in all sources.

The dim. indication was added by Chopin in GC (→GE), most probably also in the base text to EE. Its absence in FE proves that Chopin probably omitted the base text to this edition at the time of completing the Stichvorlage manuscripts in these bars. Similarly  in bar 8.

b. 13

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

in GC (→GE)

No marking in FE

in EE

..

Same as in bar 5,  in EE is the original version – in GC one can see correction of  to  performed with Chopin's hand. Here, however, Chopin forgot to introduce a new indication in the base text to FE or resigned from repeating the indication, remembering the entry in bar 5. The second possibility, however, seems to be less likely due to dim. in bars 7-8.
