Chopin op 25 no 8, m. 3

[pianohopper]

I have reviewed two different editions -- the Padewerski edition and the regular Dover edition -- of the Chopin etude Op. 25 No. 8.  In measure 3, the Padewerski edition notates a C natural at the top of the last sixth of the third triplet.  The regular Dover addition marks it as a C#.  The C# makes more sense musically, but taking into consideration that the Padewerski edition is more, standard, which should I follow?

Henle has a C natural.  I assume your Dover is Mikuli.  I probably wouldn't trust that one.

The Salabert édition (Cortot édition de travail) gives a natural C

Every recording that I have heard uses the C natural and, as metioned on another post, is in the Henle "Urtext".  An edition that I have found helpful is the Alfred, edited by Julio Esteban.  I use a somewhat hybrid fingering, pulling from several editions to suit my hand.
