GE1 does not include any accent in bar 68, whereas in EE1 (→EE2) there is no accent in the middle of bar 69 (similarly in bar 70). These patent errors were corrected in GE2 (→GE3) and EE3. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: EE revisions , Errors in EE , Errors in GE , GE revisions |

In bars 71, 73, 75, in the main text we give long accents, placed over the bottom stave and probably written by Chopin in FC. It is not clear why this notation was not reproduced in GE – probably the notation of bars 17, 19, 23, 25, 27 and 77 was considered to be more accurate and it was generalised for all analogous bars. It cannot be excluded that the engravers of FE and EE followed this pattern, so in these editions the authenticity of the graphical shape of the accents is also uncertain. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , Authentic corrections of FC |

Same as in bars 16 and 24, the accents on the 11th and 15th semiquavers are remnants of the previous version. In the proofreading of FE Chopin changed them into long accents on the 9th and 13th semiquavers – see the previous note in this bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Authentic corrections of FE |

|
composition: Op. 25 No 12, Etude in C minor
..
In the main text we give long accents written with Chopin's hand in FC instead of short accents placed in a way it can be seen in EE1 (→EE2). The long accents on the 2nd and 3rd beats were also introduced in the proofreading of FE (without deleting the original ones). According to us, it was a simplified correction, aimed at both replacing the short accents under the stave with long ones and at removing the accents on the 11th and 15th semiquavers (see the next note). The meaning of the signs placed closer to the top stave probably raised doubts of Chopin's pupil, as FED includes accents added in pencil directly over the 9th and 13th semiquavers of the bar. category imprint: Differences between sources issues: Long accents , Inaccuracies in GE , GE revisions , Authentic corrections of FC |
