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.

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.
