Features: The editorial work of the original versions of Chopin's works is far from a simple task of identifying countless original materials. Even if all the materials are obtained, it is difficult to determine the complex relationships between them after a simple review. In this regard, Maurice J.E. Bloy's book "Chopin - An Index of the Chronological Order of Works" can provide some helpful assistance. Any different staccato marks that can be clearly distinguished in the materials, the editor strives to retain the original markings. However, the use of these marks in the original materials is sometimes very ambiguous, and the intentions are often unclear in many places. In the same étude, the use of the two is very contradictory, sometimes blurring the distinction between them.
